Cleaning
Lens
One key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it 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 remove
fingerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the
lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens
and works out to the edges.
Monitor
Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunc-
tion. Dust or lint adhering to the monitor can be removed with a blower brush.
Stains can be removed by rubbing the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois
leather.
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 dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Avoid Contact with Liquid Crystal
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken
glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or
entering the eyes or mouth.
Notes on the Monitor
The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light.
This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate
a malfunction. Images recorded with the product will not be affected.
When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward
either end may appear in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear,”
does not appear in the final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction.
Some smearing may appear in movies.
