The digital back on the Mamiya DM System has a protective IR filter glass over the sensor. The
sensor is the most important and expensive part or the DM System.
The protective IR filter glass is located on the underside of the Mamiya DM System's digital back.
WARNING:
The sensor is extremely sensitive to ESD (Electro Static Discharge) and can be damaged by it.
During some stages of the installation process, the protective IR filter glass is exposed to the
environment. Do not touch the IR filter glass. Any contamination of the IR filter glass (such as dust
or fingerprints) will appear in images that you capture.

Clean the protective IR filter glass using the steps as illustrated above. Be sure to use a cleaning
wipe and cleaning fluid (isopropyl alcohol). These items can be purchased separately from your
Mamiya dealer. Spray away from the IR filter glass first to remove any condensation that may be
inside the sprayer nozzle, then spray the protective IR filter glass with ionized nitrogen to remove
large dust particles.
Prepare the cleaning wipe to fit the width of the protective IR filter glass as shown in the above
illustrations. Do not touch any part of the wiping cloth that will come into contact with the
protective IR filter.

Important:
Never use a dry cloth for cleaning.
Never clean the protective IR filter glass with a window or lens cleaner.
The residues from these products may permanently cloud the glass plate.
Never spray compressed air directly on the digital back.
Do not reuse cleaning wipes.
Put the protective cover over the sensor plate whenever the digital back is not attached
to the system.
To prevent contamination of the sensor, do not remove the protective IR filter glass.
The protective IR filter can be replaced only by Mamiya trained service centers.

Maintenance and care of the camera
Read instructions prior to use.
Protect camera against shocks and falls by using the supplied neck strap whenever possible.
Check the batteries frequently and always carry spares. The sealed batteries supplied with the
camera may have been subject to storage conditions which have reduced their service life.
Wipe battery contacts before installation and watch correct polarity.
Battery life varies, depending on frequency of use, type, age, storage condition, ambient
temperature (use external battery case in very cold weather), etc.
Always remove the battery when camera is not used for a long period of time.
Always keep covers on lenses and camera body.
Do not store the camera at temperatures exceeding 40°C (105°F) and -10°C (15°F).
Avoid humid or sea air environments.
Prolonged disuse shortens camera life. Periodically exercise the shutter (at different speeds),
lens diaphragms (at different apertures) and focusing mechanism.
Protect camera against rain and moisture.
Do not touch lens surfaces. Use blower or lens tissue to remove dust particles.
Always test your equipment before going on important assignments.
The Importance of Proper Maintenance
The camera has mechanisms that are controlled by gears, levers, springs, etc., all of which
require occasional lubrication. Ambient conditins can also affect these mechanisms, as well as the
optical glass of the lenses. We recommend periodic servicing of the camera and lenses.

Mamiya DM Systems are digital solutions for photographers who take their art seriously and
passionately.
They have been manufactured to cater to photographers who want to take pro-level digital images
with a professional feel that only a medium format system can provide. The Mamiya DM Systems
boast 35mm handling and speed, fully customizable settings and top quality photographic results.
Images are shot in 16 bit RAW files with high resolution, exceptional color accuracy and exquisite
detail, of which not a single megapixel is squandered due to the premium quality 33, 28 and 22
megapixel sensors.
A comprehensive range of 16 precision lenses are available for the Mamiya DM System user,
all constructed drawing on over 60 years of experience and innovation.
For demanding daylight situations, there are three leaf shutter lenses, developed in collaboration
with renowned optical company Schneider Kreuznach.
For other photographic genres, there are lenses suited for landscapes, portraiture, fashion,
architecture, commercial and macro.
