Caring for the Camera
❚❚
Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, turn the camera
off
and remove the battery. Do not store in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such
as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below –10 °C (14 °F)
❚❚
Cleaning
Camera Body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off
sand or salt
with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and dry thoroughly.
Important
: Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may cause
damage not covered under warranty.
Lens, Mirror, and Viewfinder
These glass 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. To remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small
amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and clean with care.
Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing fingerprints and
other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Do not apply pressure, as this could result in damage or malfunction.
* Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
