Caring for the Camera

Cleaning

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints, oily substances, or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, carefully

Lens wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or eyewear cleaning cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. Do not wipe the lens forcibly or with a hard material. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage or trouble. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

Monitor

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints, oily substances or other stains, carefully wipe the monitor with a dry soft cloth or eyewear cleaning cloth. Do not wipe the monitor forcibly or with a hard material. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage or trouble.

 

Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or

 

sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry

 

cloth. If a foreign substance adheres to

 

the waterproof packing inside of the

Body

cover, remove it with the included brush.

After using the camera underwater or at

 

the beach, gently wipe off any sand or

 

salt with a soft cloth lightly dampened

where sunscreen lotion is applied, this could cause deterioration of the camera

 

exterior. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage
