Cleaning
Before cleaning, detach the battery and then wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth.
≥If the unit is very dirty, dip a cloth in water and squeeze firmly, and then wipe the unit with the damp cloth. Next, dry the unit with a dry cloth.
≥Use of benzine, paint thinner, alcohol, or dishwashing liquid may alter the unit body or peel the surface finish. Do not use these solvents.
≥When using a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions that came with the cloth.
LCD monitor
≥Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the LCD monitor and it may malfunction.
≥When the unit has become very cold, for example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual immediately after the unit is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the unit’s internal temperature rises.
≥When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth such as eye glass cleaner.
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft cloth such as eye glass cleaner.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 153,000 dots. The result is more than 99.99% effective dots with a mere 0.01% of the dots inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
About the Lens
≥Do not press against the lens with excessive force.
≥Do not leave the unit with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the unit outside or near a window.
≥If the lens gets dirty with fingerprints etc., wipe the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.
(If you leave fingerprints on or otherwise dirty the lens, the pictures you take may look whiter than normal.)
