Camera Care

Handling

With careful handling, your camera should produce images of the highest quality for years to come.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to drop the camera or subject it to shock. (While it has been designed for durability, it is a precision instrument and should be handled with care.)

Keep it out of salt spray and protect it from excessive moisture. If you use it at the beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.

Do not touch the camera’s electronic contacts with your fingers. Touching the contacts can cause corrosion and affect proper camera operation.

After removing a lens from the camera, place it face down on a flat surface to avoid damaging the electronic contacts on the lens mount.

Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm place. If the autofocus optics cloud over, accuracy may be seriously affected. Before entering a warm place, put equipment in a plastic bag so condensation forms on the outside of the bag.
