- Using the Grip: The integrated front foam handle and back wood panel provide a comfortable and secure grip, enhancing stability during handheld shooting.
- Adjusting the Shoulder Strap: The shoulder strap can be adjusted in length from 100cm to 110cm to suit your preference for carrying the camera around your neck or over your shoulder.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Leather Case: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Protecting the Leather: Keep the leather case away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and excessive moisture to prevent drying, cracking, or discoloration.
- Strap Care: Periodically check the strap attachments (O-rings, eyelets, fasteners) for wear and tear to ensure secure carrying.
- Adhesive Longevity: The 3M adhesive for the thumb pad is strong, but avoid frequent removal and reattachment to maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
- Case does not fit: Ensure you have the correct model (5267/5268) for your FUJIFILM GFX100RF camera. The case is designed for a snug fit, so gentle pressure may be needed during initial installation.
- Strap feels loose: Double-check that the O-rings and strap fasteners are securely attached to the camera lugs and the strap itself. Adjust the strap length for a comfortable and secure fit.
- Thumb pad detaching: Ensure the camera surface was clean and dry before applying the 3M adhesive. Apply firm, even pressure during installation. If re-applying, use new 3M adhesive.
