General maintenance and safety

✔To keep from damaging your camera, avoid exposing it to moisture and extreme temperatures.

✔Clean the outside of the camera by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.

✔Never disassemble or touch the inside of the camera. This could result in electrical shock.

✔If you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the camera, immediately turn the camera off, wait a few minutes until the camera cools, and then remove the batteries.

✔Cleaning the lens:

1Blow gently on the lens to remove dust and dirt.

2Moisten the lens by breathing lightly on it.

3Wipe the lens gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens- cleaning tissue.

☞Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed speciﬁcally for camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it may scratch the lens.
