■Notes on Condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a warm place etc., water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the camera off and wait until water droplets are goes off. Condensation may also form on the SmartMedia or Microdrive/CompactFlash. In this event, remove the SmartMedia or Microdrive/CompactFlash and wait a short time before using it again.

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period, remove the batteries and any SmartMedia or Microdrive/CompactFlash before storing the camera.

■Cleaning Your Camera

●Use a blower brush remove dust from the lens, LCD color monitor and viewfinder and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of a lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.

●Do not scrape the lens, LCD monitor or viewfinder with hard objects as the surface scratches easily.

●Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzene or insecticide, as these may react with camera body and cause degeneration or deformation or cause the coating to peel off.

■Using the Camera Overseas

●When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged internally even when no external damage is visible.
