Cleaning : When cleaning the camera
body, use a blower to gently remove
dust and lint, then wipe gently with a
soft, dry cloth. After using the camera
at the beach or seaside, wipe off any
sand or salt using a cloth lightly
dampened in pure water and then
dry the camera thoroughly.
The lens is easily damaged. Dust and
lint should be gently removed with a
blower. When using an aerosol
blower, keep the can vertical to pre-
vent discharge of liquid. To remove
fingerprints and other stains from the
lens, apply a small amount of lens
cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the
lens carefully.
Storage : To prevent mold or mildew,
store the camera in a dry, well-venti-
lated area. If you are using an AC
adapter, unplug the adapter to prevent
fire. If the product will not be used for
an extended period, remove the bat-
tery to prevent leakage and store the
camera in a plastic bag containing a
desiccant. Do not, however, store the
camera case in a plastic bag, as this
may cause the material to deteriorate.
Note that desiccant gradually loses its
capacity to absorb moisture and
should be replaced at regular intervals.
To prevent mold or mildew, take the
camera out of storage at least once a
month. Turn the camera on and
release the shutter a few times before
putting it away.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Replace the terminal cover before
putting the battery away.
Notes on the monitor and viewfinder : These
d i s p l a y s a r e c o n s t r u c t e d w i t h
extremely high precision; at least
99.99% of pixels are effective, with no
more than 0.01% being missing or
defective. Hence while these displays
may contain pixels that are always lit
(white, red, blue, or green) or always
off (black), this is not a malfunction
and has no effect on images recorded
with the device.
Images in the monitor may be diffi-
cult to see in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the displays,
as this could cause damage or mal-
function. Dust or lint on the displays
can be removed with a blower. Stains
can be removed by wiping lightly
with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Should the monitor or viewfinder
break, care should be taken to avoid
injury from broken glass and to pre-
vent liquid crystal from the display
touching the skin or entering the
eyes and mouth.
Moiré : Moiré is an interference pattern
created by the interaction of an
image containing a regular, repeating
grid, such as the pattern of weave in
cloth or windows in a building, with
the camera image sensor grid. In
some cases, it may appear in the form
of lines. If you notice moiré in your
photographs, try changing the dis-
tance to the subject, zooming in and
out, or changing the angle between
the subject and the camera.
