#5_OPTURA Pi_E(100-126) 1/25/00 13:43 Page 106 (1,1) Storage E If you do not intend to use the camera for some time, store it in an area which is free of dust and moisture, and where the temperature is no higher than 86°F (30°C). After storage, check each part and function of your camera to make sure everything is still working properly. • These cautions also apply to accessories such as battery packs and cassettes. Maintenance Viewfinder • Clean the viewfinder screen. Rotate the viewfinder upwards. Remove the viewfinder protect cover and clean by inserting a cotton swab. When finished, return it flush with the camera. • The viewfinder screen scratches easily. Take care when cleaning. LCD • Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available glass cleaner. • Where there is a big change in temperature, moisture may form on the surface of the screen. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. • At low temperatures the display may appear to be much darker than usual. This is not a fault, and as the screen warms up the display will return to normal. Camera body and lens • Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body or lens. Never use chemically treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner. Video heads • When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture, the video heads may be dirty. When the video heads are badly contaminated, the camera may show a blank blue screen. • For the best picture possible, after using the camera for approximately 20 hours, clean the video heads using Canon's DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette. If the "noise" remains, repeat the cleaning (up to maximum of five times). • Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage. 106 Additional Information
