CARE AND STORAGE

Read this section in its entirety to get the best results from your camera. With proper care, your camera will provide years of service.

Camera care

Do not subject the camera to shock or impact.

Turn off the camera when transporting.

This camera is neither waterproof nor splashproof. Inserting or removing batteries or the memory card, or operating the camera with wet hands may damage the camera.

When at the beach or near water, take care not to expose the camera to water or sand. Water, sand, dust, or salt can damage the camera.

Do not leave the camera under direct sunlight. Do not point the lens directly at the sun; the CCD may be damaged.

Cleaning

If the camera or the outside of the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth. If the camera or lens comes in contact with sand, gently blow away loose particles. Wiping may scratch the surface.

To clean the lens surface, first blow away any dust or sand, then gently wipe the lens with a cloth or tissue designed for optics. Use lens-cleaning fluid if necessary.

Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.

Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from dust and chemicals. For long periods of disuse, store the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel drying agent.

Remove the batteries and memory card from the camera when not in use for extended periods.

Do not store the camera in an area with naphthalene or mothballs.

During long periods of storage, operate the camera occasionally. When taking the camera out of storage, check that the camera is functioning properly before using.
