Care and Storage
Care
• Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will suffer.
• Any dust or dirt on the lens should be gently removed either with a blower
(available from third-party suppliers) or a soft cloth, paying particular attention to
the area around the lens barrel. Do not touch the lens directly with your fingers.
• If the camera is dirty or after use at the beach, take the following steps: Make sure
the battery/card cover and terminal cover are securely closed. Fill a wash-basin or
bowl with tap water and use the water to remove any dirt, sand or salt from the
camera, and then wipe the camera dry with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the rubber packing is dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. If the rubber packing
has anything sticking to it or it is cracked or damaged, its waterproofing function may
be compromised, resulting in leakage. If dirt cannot be removed or the packing is
damaged, request your nearest dealer or Ricoh Repair Center to replace the packing.
• In the unlikely event that your camera fails to work properly, please consult your
Ricoh Repair Center.
• There are high voltage circuits in this camera. As this is dangerous, do not
dismantle this camera under any circumstances.
• Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzene, or pesticides on your
camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint to peel, etc.
• As the surface of the picture display is easily scratched, do not rub hard objects against it.
• Clean the surface of the picture display by wiping gently with a soft cloth
containing a small amount of display cleaner (that does not contain organic
solvents) sold in stores.
Use and Storage
• Please avoid using or storing your camera in the following kinds of places, as this
may damage the camera.
- In high heat and humidity, or where there is severe change in temperature or
humidity.
- Places with a lot of dust, dirt or sand.
- Places with severe vibration.
- Places where it is in direct contact with vinyl or rubber products or chemicals,
including mothballs or other insect repellent, for long periods of time.
- Places with strong magnetic fields (near a monitor, transformer, magnet, etc.).
• To keep the camera free from dust and other foreign matter, store it in a lint-free
case. Do not place it directly in a pocket or other location where it will be exposed
to dirt or lint.
• Remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of
time.
