Technical Notes Caring for Your Camera Cleaning Lens/ Viewfinder A key to cleaning these glass parts is to not touch them with your fingers. Use a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other) to remove dust or lint. To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens or viewfinder with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure. Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with Camera Body a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with a cloth lightly damp- ened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals Storage When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery after checking to make sure that the camera is off, the monitor closed, and the lens cap in place.
