86 Caring for Your Camera : Cleaning and Storage
Caring for Your Camera
To ensure that you continue to get the most from your camera, you should
observe the following precautions when cleaning and storing your camera.
Cleaning
The lens is covered by a clear plastic shield. You should avoid touching
this shield with your fingers. Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from
the lens shield. If you do get a fingerprint or other stain on the shield, wipe
it carefully with a soft cloth.
Periodically dust the touch-panel display with a soft, dry cloth. The
display should be kept clean to prevent accidental damage when in use and
to allow the stylus to function effectively. The tip of the stylus should be
kept clean to avoid dirtying the display.
Clean the viewfinder and the body of the camera with a soft cloth after
removing dust and dirt with a blower. If necessary, the body of the camera
may be cleaned with a damp cloth, although you should be sure to dry the
camera immediately afterward. Do not apply alcohol, thinner, or any other
cleaning fluids to any part of the camera.
Storage
Store your camera in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from
electronic equipment such as televisions or radios which produce strong
magnetic fields. Do not store your camera where the temperature exceeds
60
°
C (140
°
F) or goes below -20
°
C (-4
°
F), or where the humidity exceeds
60%. If you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time,
remove the batteries before putting the camera away.
