Caring for the Camera

CThe Battery

•Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and replace the batteries if necessary (A 20). 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

	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
Lens	pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). 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 at the center of the lens 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
Body	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 by the
	warranty.

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