	pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints
Lens	or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft
	cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working
	toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened
	with commercial lens cleaner.

	cause it to malfunction.

	cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty

•Exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F)
