General Maintenance and Safety

θTo keep from damaging your camera, do not open the memory card door, battery door, or skylight filter while in harsh environments such as rain, sea air, or windstorms. The seals in these areas prevent exposure to moisture and dirt which can damage your camera.

θAlways follow basic safety precautions, refer to the “Important Safety Instructions” booklet packed with your camera.

θClean 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.

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

θNever disassemble or touch the inside of the camera. This could result in electrical shock.

θIf you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the camera, immediately turn off the camera, wait a few minutes until the camera cools, and then remove the batteries. Contact your Technical Support Center.

θIf you need to remove the lens filter cover, first clean the outside of the camera to prevent getting any dirt, moisture, or dust on the interior lens. Once the cover is removed, do not touch the interior lens. If necessary, clean the interior lens with the appropriate cleaning accessory, such as a KODAK lens pen accessory.
