Technical Notes
Lasers and other bright light sources
Do not direct lasers or other extremely bright light sources toward the
lens, as this could damage the camera’s image sensor.
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 fresh water and then dry the camera thoroughly. In rare instances,
static electricity may cause the LCD display to light up or go dark; this
does not indicate a malfunction. The display will soon return to normal.
Cleaning the Lens and Mirror
These elements are easily damaged: remove dust and lint with a blower. If
using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the discharge of
liquid that could damage glass elements. To remove fingerprints and
other stains from the lens, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft
cloth and wipe the lens carefully.
The Lens Contacts
Keep the lens contacts clean.
