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.
Lenses are 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, 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 pre-
vent fire. If the product will not be
used for an extended period, remove
the battery to prevent leakage and
store the camera in a plastic bag con-
taining a desiccant. Do not, however,
store the camera case in a plastic bag,
as this may cause the material to
deteriorate. Note that desiccant grad-
ually 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 : The monitor is
constructed with extremely high pre-
cision; at least 99.99% of pixels are
effective, with no more than 0.01%
being missing or defective. Hence
while these displays may contain pix-
els 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 display,
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 break , care
should be taken to avoid injury from
broken glass and to prevent 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.
