Caring for the Camera

Cleaning

Do not use volatile organic solvents such as alcohol or thinner, chemical
detergents, anticorrosive agents, or anti-fogging agents.

Lens

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower
(typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is
pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints,
oily substances, or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, carefully
wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or eyewear cleaning cloth, using a spiral
motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. Do
not wipe the lens forcibly or with a hard material. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage or trouble. If this fails, clean the lens using a
cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

Monitor

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints, oily substances or
other stains, carefully wipe the monitor with a dry soft cloth or eyewear
cleaning cloth. Do not wipe the monitor forcibly or with a hard material. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in damage or trouble.

Body

Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera underwater or at the beach, gently wipe off any
sand or salt with a soft cloth lightly dampened with fresh water and dry
thoroughly. If you handle the camera using hands where sunscreen lotion is
applied, this could cause deterioration of the camera exterior. Note that
foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the
warranty.
