Maintenance Ⅵ Cleaning the camera Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera. Exterior: T Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung. Monitor and viewfinder: T Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Lens, mirror and focusing screen: T Blow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper. Do not use a high-pressure bottled blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed onto the lens, mirror, or focusing screen by nonauthorized service persons, the camera will be damaged. Ⅵ Camera maintenance If you have not used the camera for a long time, remove the battery and store it in a well-ventilated, cool and dry place. Cleaning and Checking the CCD This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the CCD and to remove any dust or dirt from the CCD surface with ultrasonic vibrations. Dust reduction works when the power switch is set to ON. This function also operates whenever PIXEL MAPPING is activated. Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the camera should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective. Note ● Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated cloth. ● Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the camera from corrosion. ● Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty. ● Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works properly. 12 169 Miscellaneous
