Tips, Safety, Maintenance

mAlways follow basic safety precautions. Refer to the “Important Safety Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.

mDo not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come into contact with the painted surface of the camera.

mIf the camera has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the battery and card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours before using the camera again.

mClean the lens and back LCD screen:

1 Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt.

2 Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it.

3 Wipe the lens or LCD screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue.

Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens or LCD screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue. It may scratch the lens.

mClean the outside of the camera by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.

mService agreements are available in some countries. Please contact a dealer of Kodak products for more information.
