Care and Storage

Do not leave the camera in any place exposed to excessive heat, humidity, or direct sunlight — for example, in a car or on the beach.

Do not expose the camera to formalin or naphthalene.

If the camera gets wet, wipe it with a dry towel as soon as possible. The salt in seawater can be especially damaging.

Do not use organic solvents, such as alcohol or paint thinner when cleaning the camera.
