CARING FOR YOUR CAMERA

CLEANING

•Keep the AF and Meter windows clean or the focus and/or exposure may not be accurate.

•If the camera body is dirty, gently wipe it clean with a soft, clean, dry cloth.

•To clean the lens surface, first brush away any dust or sand then, if necessary, moisten a lens tissue with lens cleaning fluid and gently wipe the lens in a circular motion, starting from the center.

•Never place lens fluid directly on the lens.

•Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.

•Never use alcohol or solvents to clean the camera.
