Caring for the Camera

Technical Notes and Index

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,

Lens

oily substances, or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, carefully

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.

 

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints, oily substances or

Monitor

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

Body

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

environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened

 

with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the

 

camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.

 

 

Do not use volatile organic solvents such as alcohol or thinner, chemical detergents, anticorrosive agents, or anti-fogging agents.

Storage

Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or in any of the following locations:

Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios

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

Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%

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 the camera away again.
