Caring for the Camera

Storage

When the camera will not be used for an extended period, replace
the monitor cover, remove the battery, and store the battery in a
cool, dry area with the terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or
mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not
store your camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in
locations that:

are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%

are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic

fields, such as televisions or radios

are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below

–10 °C (14 °F)

Cleaning

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Camera
body

Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a
soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside,
wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled
water and dry thoroughly. Important: Dust or other foreign

matter inside the camera may cause damage not covered under

warranty.

Lens,
mirror, and
viewfinder

These glass elements are easily damaged. Remove dust and
lint with a blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can
vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove
fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens
cleaner to a soft cloth and clean with care.

Monitor

Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing
fingerprints and other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a
soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this
could result in damage or malfunction.
