Handling
With careful handling, your camera should produce images of the highest quality for years
to come.
✔ Be careful not to drop your camera or subject it to shock. (While the camera has
been designed for durability, it is a precision instrument and should be handled
with care.)
✔ Keep the camera out of salt spray and protect it from excessive moisture. If you
use it at the beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.
✔ Do not leave the camera in an excessively hot place.
✔ Do not touch the camera’s electronic contacts with your fingers. Touching the
contacts can cause corrosion and affect proper camera operation.
✔ After removing a lens from the camera, place it face down on a flat surface to avoid
damaging the electronic contacts on the lens mount.
✔ Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm place. If the
autofocus optics cloud over, accuracy may be seriously affected. Before entering a
warm place, put equipment in a plastic bag so that condensation forms on the
outside of the bag.
✔ A spray gun-type blower may damage the optical glass if used to clean the lens,
especially if ED glass is used for the front lens element. To avoid damage, hold the
blower upright with its nozzle more than 30 cm (approximately 12 inches) from the
lens surface, and keep the nozzle moving so that the stream of air is not
concentrated in one spot.
