Cleaning: When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in pure water and then dry the camera thoroughly.

Lenses are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with a blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to pre- vent discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.

Storage: To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-venti- lated area. If you are using an AC adapter, unplug the adapter to pre- vent fire. If the product will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag con- taining a desiccant. Do not, however, store the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant grad- ually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting it away.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Replace the terminal cover before putting the battery away.

Notes on the monitor: The monitor is constructed with extremely high pre- cision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pix- els that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.

Images in the monitor may be diffi- cult to see in a bright light.

Do not apply pressure to the display, as this could cause damage or mal- function. Dust or lint on the displays can be removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.

Moiré: Moiré is an interference pattern created by the interaction of an image containing a regular, repeating grid, such as the pattern of weave in cloth or windows in a building, with

the camera image sensor grid. In n some cases, it may appear in the form

of lines. If you notice moiré in your photographs, try changing the dis- tance to the subject, zooming in and out, or changing the angle between the subject and the camera.
