Cleaning
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (optional), or
disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry soft
cloth.
• When the camera is very dirty, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet
cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents, such as: benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean
the camera, as it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.
• When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
About the LCD monitor
• Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the
LCD monitor and it may malfunction.
• If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly
darker than usual at rst. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the
internal temperature of the camera increases.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
About the Lens
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may
cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a
window.
