3. Warnings

Due to the modularity of the Actus camera system, many camera-lens combina ons are possible. Please beware that there is a possibility, with some camera-lens combina ons, that the rear element of the lens collides with the rear standard or a ached camera. Please note that Cambo is not responsible for any damage done to the Actus, lens or camera, due to improper or careless use.
Before changing the camera orienta on form landscape to portrait or vice-versa, ensure that there is enough clearance between the camera body and the rear housing of the Actus. If necessary (this depends on the camera body is used) use the ver cal shi to li the camera to gain more clearance.
⚠ Ensure that there is enough clearance between the camera body and the rear housing of the Actus, before dismoung the camera body.
(Over)exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources will damage the leather bellows. Keep/store the leather bellows in a cool, dry, dust free and ven lated place.
The Actus uses disc magnets to mount the bellows. These permanent magnets (magne sm N45) could cause temporary or permanent damage to equipment ^1 sensi ve to magne sm like magne c cards (credit card, ATM card).
⚠ Beware that some combina ons of swing, It, shi and focus adjustments can dismount the bellows.
