•Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well.

•Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Lens:

•Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.

•Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.

•Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.

•When storing the camera for extended periods, remove batteries, AC adapter and card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.

•Periodically insert batteries and test the camera functions.
