CLEANING
•If the camera or lens barrel is dirty, wipe it gently 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 brush 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 place lens fluid directly on the lens.
•Never touch the interior of the camera, especially the shutter and mirror, doing so may impair their alignment and movement.
•Dust on the mirror will not affect the exposure but may affect the focus. Use a blower brush to remove dust from or around the mirror.
•Never use compressed air to clean the camera’s interior; it may damage sensitive internal components.
•Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
•Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.
BEFORE IMPORTANT EVENTS
•Check the camera’s operation carefully, or take test photographs before an event or journey.
•Konica Minolta is not responsible for any loss that may occur due to an equipment malfunction.
