Storing
✔ When storing your camera, wrap it in a clean, soft cloth and place it in a well-
ventilated, cool, dry, dust-free place.
✔ Keep the camera out of direct sunlight, and away from hot spots such as the trunk
or rear window shelf of a car.
✔ Avoid places where chemical agents such as moth balls are used.
✔ To prevent corrosion, avoid storing the camera in a laboratory or other location
where chemicals are used.
✔ Do not store the camera in a drawer or other non-ventilated place.
✔ Remove the battery if you do not expect to use the camera for several days.
✔ Take the camera out and release the shutter occasionally to prevent build up of
mold or corrosion.
In a humid environment, store the camera inside a vinyl bag with a desiccant to keep out
dust, moisture and salt. Note, however, that storing leather cases in vinyl bags may cause
the leather to deteriorate.
Carefully check the camera’s operation after lengthy storage, when the camera has not
been used for a long time, or before an important trip or shooting assignment.
Top and Back Status LCD panels
Liquid crystal may respond relatively slowly in temperatures below 32 degrees F
(0 degrees C). It may also darken in temperatures of around 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
The LCD panels return to normal function when the temperature returns to normal.
IMPORTANT:
A minute amount of battery power is used even when the Power switch is set to Off.
This will affect the camera’s shooting capacity after several days of storage.
