Cleaning the camera and a lens
• Do not touch the inside of the camera, such as lens contacts, or the mirror.
Since dust on the mirror or around the mirror may affect the images or the
performance of the camera, blow the dust away using a commercially
available blower*. For details on cleaning the image sensor, see page 224.
* Do not use a spray blower. Using one may cause a malfunction.
• Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water,
then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. To avoid damaging the finish or
casing, follow the instructions below.
– Do not use chemical products such as thinner, benzine, alcohol,
disposable cloths, insect repellent, sunscreen or insecticide, etc.
– Do not touch the camera with the above on your hand.
– Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or vinyl for a long time.
• Do not use a cleaning solution containing organic solvents, such as
thinner, or benzine.
• When cleaning the lens surface, remove dust using a commercially
available blower. In case of dust that sticks to the surface, wipe it off with
a soft cloth or tissue paper slightly moistened with lens cleaning solution.
Wipe in a spiral pattern from the center to the outside. Do not spray lens
cleaning solution directly onto the lens surface.
