Caring for Your Camera

Never open your camera’s casing or attempt to repair the

camera yourself. Touching the inside of a digital camera

can result in electrical shock. Contact an authorized

HP Service Center for repairs.

NOTE: For information about handling batteries safely, see

Appendix A, Managing Batteries, starting on page149.

Cleaning the Camera

TIP: If your camera needs cleaning beyond what is

described in this section, take the camera to a camera

store that specializes in cleaning digital cameras.

Cleaning your camera not only keeps it looking its best, it

also improves the quality of your photos. It is especially

important to clean the lens regularly because dust particles

and fingerprints can mar the quality of any photos you take.
To clean your camera, you will need lens-cleaning tissue and

a soft, dry, lint-free cloth commonly available at photo-

specialty stores. You can also purchase these items in a

camera-cleaning kit.
NOTE: You should purchase lens-cleaning tissue that has not

been chemically treated. Some chemically treated lens

tissue can cause scratching of the lens and Image

Display.

Cleaning the Camera Lens

Do the following to remove any fingerprints, dust, and so

forth that have accumulated on the lens.
1. Slide the lens cover to uncover the lens.
2. Blow gently on the lens to remove dust.
3. Lightly wipe the lens with lens-cleaning tissue, using a

circular motion.
