Batteries

•Check the battery level when taking the camera out and replace the batteries if nec- essary ( 13). If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.

•Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

•Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.

•Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Cleaning

Lens

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). To

 

remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a

 

blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts

 

in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. 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 and other

 

stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to

 

apply pressure.

 

 

Body

Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand then wipe gently with a

 

soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off

 

any sand or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water,

 

then dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could

 

cause damage not covered under warranty.

 

 

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.Technical Notes
