Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals
Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the bat-
tery after checking to make sure that the camera is off, the monitor closed,
and the lens cap in place. Do not store your camera in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or damp
• 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)
• are subject to humidities of over 60%
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 any sand or salt with a cloth lightly damp-
ened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.
Monitor
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and
other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being
careful not to apply pressure.
Lens/
Viewfinder
A key to cleaning these glass parts is to not touch them with
your fingers. Use a blower (typically a small device with a
rubber bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce
a stream of air out the other) to remove dust or lint. To re-
move fingerprints or other stains that can not be removed
with a blower, wipe the lens or viewfinder with a soft cloth,
using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and
works out to the edges.
