CARE/STORAGE
239
• All mechanical bearings and sliding surfaces on your lens are
lubricated. Make sure to periodically move the focus ring and the
aperture ring to prevent seizing if the lens will not be used for an
extended period of time.
VIEWFINDER/LCD PANEL
• Switch off your camera and leave it to stand at room temperature
for around 1 hour if condensation has formed on or in the cam-
era. The condensation will disappear, once the camera tempera-
ture has reached room temperature.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
• Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries should only be stored partially
charged, i.e. not fully depleted or fully charged. The camera LCD
panel will show the current charge level of the battery. Charge
the battery twice a year for around 15 minutes to avoid deep
discharge in case of very long storage periods.
MEMORY CARDS
• Make sure to store memory cards in their anti-static container
when not in use.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high
temperatures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static electricity.
Always remove the memory card if the camera will not be used
for an extended period of time.
• We recommend formatting memory cards from time to time, as
fragmented residual data from deleted files may block some of
the storage capacity.
SENSOR
PIXEL MAPPING
Defective pixels may appear on the image sensor of digital cameras
over time. The camera compensates for these defective pixels auto-
matically by calculating the data captured by other pixels surround-
ing defective ones. This feature requires a process known as “pixel
mapping” to recognize and register defective pixels. The camera
does this automatically every two weeks. The function can also be
accessed manually if needed.
