Cleaning

	Avoid touching the lens 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	or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft
	cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of them and working
	toward 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.
	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 other sandy or dusty
Body	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 alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use. Be sure that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. 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.

•For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (F4) in “Maximizing Camera Life and Performance”.
