Caring for the Camera
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove
the battery and store it 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 humid (have a humidty of 60% or more) or poorly ventilated
• 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)
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
This glass element is 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, dry 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, dry cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as
this could result in damage or malfunction.
