Caring for your camera (continued)

Using the camera abroad

You can use your camera in any country or region with the supplied AC Adaptor AC-L10A within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Use a commercially available AC plug adaptor, if necessary, depending on the design of the wall outlet.

AC-L10A (supplied)

AC plug Wall outlet adaptor

Note

•Do not use an electronic transformer (travel converter), as this may cause a malfunction.

Cleaning your camera

Cleaning the screen and lens

Wipe the screen and lens with the supplied cleaning cloth to remove any fingerprints or dirt. The cleaning cloth can be washed and reused.

Cleaning the camera surface

First remove the battery from the camera. Wipe the camera surface with a soft cloth that has been moistened with water or lukewarm water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as these may damage the finish.

After using the camera at the beach or a dusty location

Clean the camera carefully. Salt air causes metal parts to corrode and sand and dust in the camera may result in a malfunction.

If you experience trouble with your camera, try the following solutions.

1Run through the symptoms and solutions on pages 49-52 to check your camera. If an error icon is displayed on the screen, the camera’s self-diagnosis function is working (page 53).

2Should your camera still not work properly, remove the battery, then reattach it and turn on the camera.
