Caring for Your Camera

To ensure that you continue to get the most from your camera, you should observe the following precautions when cleaning and storing your camera.

Cleaning

The lens is covered by a clear plastic shield. You should avoid touching this shield with your fingers. Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from the lens shield. If you do get a fingerprint or other stain on the shield, wipe it carefully with a soft cloth.

Clean the viewfinder and the body of the camera with a soft cloth after removing dust and dirt with a blower. If necessary, the camera may be cleaned with a damp cloth, although you should be sure to dry the camera immediately afterward. Do not apply alcohol or other cleaning fluids to any part of the camera.

Storage

Store your camera in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from electronic equipment such as televisions or radios which produce strong magnetic fields. Do not store your camera where the temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F) or goes below -20°C (-4°F), or where the humidity exceeds

60%. If you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries before putting the camera away.
