CARE AND STORAGE

Cleaning

• If the camera or lens barrel is dirty, wipe it gently 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 brush away any dust or sand then, if necessary, moisten a lens tissue with lens cleaning fluid and gently wipe the lens in a circular motion, starting from the center.

Never place lens fluid directly on the lens.

Never touch the interior of the camera, especially the shutter and mirror, doing so may impair their alignment and movement. Dust on the mirror will not affect the picture quality.

Never use compressed air to clean the camera’s interior, it may cause damage to sensitive interior parts.

Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.

• Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.
