•If the camera or the outside of the lens is dirty, gently wipe it 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 blow away any dust or sand, then gently wipe the lens with a cloth or tissue designed for optics. Use lens-cleaning fluid if necessary.

•Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.

•Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.

STORAGE

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from dust and chemicals. For long periods of

disuse, store the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel drying agent.

• Remove the batteries and memory card from the camera when not in use for extended periods.

• Do not store the camera in an area with naphthalene or mothballs.

If the camera does not function normally, turn it off, remove and reinsert the battery, or unplug and reconnect the AC adapter. Always turn the camera off using the main switch otherwise the memory card may be damaged and camera settings reset.

• During long periods of storage, operate the camera occasionally. When taking the camera out of

storage, check that the camera is functioning properly before using.
