General Maintenance and Safety

To keep from damaging your DC25, avoid exposing it to moisture and extreme temperatures.

Clean the outside of the DC25 by wiping it with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.

Never disassemble or touch the inside of the DC25. This could result in electrical shock.

If you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the DC25, immediately turn the camera off, wait a few minutes until the DC25 cools, and remove the batteries.

Cleaning the Lens

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

2Moisten the lens by breathing lightly on it.

3Wipe the lens 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 with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it may scratch the lens.

Cleaning the Light Sensor

The light sensor is located between the viewfinder and the flash on the camera front.

Clean the light sensor by gently rubbing it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any organic solvents to clean the sensor.
