Maintenance and Troubleshooting A-2

Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can cause
moisture to form on the camera and options. Keep the
camera and options in a case or bag if you need to move
them from a cold environment to a warm one. Allow
time for the camera and options to adjust to temperature
changes before using them.

Cleaning the Camera

Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the camera free of dust.

Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Don’t use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.

To clean the lens, first blow off any loose dust or dirt.
Then breathe on the lens and wipe off all moisture with
a soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning tissue. To avoid
scratching the lens, don’t press too hard.

If necessary, clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.

If the LCD screen gets fingerprints or smudges on it, use
a soft, damp cloth to lightly wipe the screen.

Storing the Camera

When you’re not using the camera, make sure the
camera is turned off and the lens is retracted. Attach the
lens cap to protect the lens.

When the camera is not used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature
in a dry location. This prevents damage to the camera
from battery leaks or corrosion.

Do not store the camera in the following locations:

Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, for example,
on a car dashboard

Near sources of bright light or high humidity

Near heat sources or in a closed car or trunk

In areas of excessive dirt or dust

Where it will be exposed to strong vibrations or
magnetic fields
