Taking care of your camera
Your camera is a precision instrument designed and manufactured to give you reliable
service. Handled and cared for properly, the camera should give years of trouble-free
imaging.
In order to avoid damaging the unit:
Do Not:
• Drop or bang the camera. Always transport the unit in a carrying case;
• Drop into water or expose the camera to rain or splashing. Your camera is not
waterproof and is particularly susceptible to damage from salt water. The camera must
be protected from salty breezes or sprays to prevent damage. If your camera does get
wet, wipe it dry immediately and have it examined at an authorized service center;
• Subject the camera to extreme high or low temperature and/or humidity. Your
camera’s batteries will not function properly in extreme conditions. Excessive
temperature and humidity may cause serious damage;
• Subject the camera to excessive vibrations. When you travel, always make sure to use
the carrying case, and pack the camera where it will not be subjected to a lot of jarring
movement. This could loosen screws or damage internal camera components;
• Disassemble the camera. This will void your warranty and potentially damage
precision internal parts.
Do:
• Make sure any tripod used has a screw that fits the camera’s tripod mount properly. A
longer tripod screw could puncture and damage the camera’s casing and internal
structure.
