Storage

• When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery, and

keep in a cool, dry place that is ventilated well.

• Periodically, replace the battery, and test camera functions.

• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or

chemically treated cloth.

• Cleaning should be done only after the battery has been removed or

the AC adapter has been disconnected.

• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are

handled since this may result in corrosion.
