Tips on Handling the Camera and Batteries Camera Care WARNING Do NOT use thinner, benzene or other organic solvents to clean the camera. They may damage the camera, cause it to catch fire, or harm your health. • Cleaning the camera First lightly blow off dirt and dust with a blower, then gently wipe the body with a clean soft cloth. After using the camera near sea water, wipe the body with a soft cloth slightly moistened with tap water to remove salt, then lightly wipe it with a dry cloth. • Cleaning the mirror and lens The mirror and lens are very sensitive. Clean them only by lightly blowing off dust with a blower. If the lens is smeared, such as with fingerprints, gently wipe it with a clean, soft cloth moistened with commercially available lens cleaner. • Do NOT subject the camera or lens to strong shock. Be careful not to drop the camera and lens or hit them against a hard surface. Such strong shock may damage the camera or badly affect the precisely adjusted parts. • Do NOT touch the shutter curtains. The shutter curtains are made of a very thin material. NEVER hold, push, or strongly blow with a blower. Such actions can crack, deform, or damage the curtains. • Avoid locations where strong radio waves or strong electromagnetic fields are generated. The camera may not operate correctly in a location where a strong radio wave or strong electromagnetic field is generated, such as near a television tower. • Store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. To eliminate mold and damage, store the camera in a dry place with sufficient ventilation. • Do NOT leave the camera in a place exposed to chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene, near equipment generating a strong magnetic emission, or in an excesively hot place, such as inside a car or in front of a heater. • Avoid extreme temperature changes. Extreme temperature changes can cause condensation outside and inside the camera. When taking the camera to very hot place from a cold place or vice versa, place it inside an airtight container such as a plastic bag and leave it inside awhile to expose the camera gradually to the temperature change. 48
