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 soiled badly, 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, cleanser, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.

•When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.

• When salt etc., has adhered to the camera, the arm part of the side door etc., may whiten. Use damp cotton swabs or similar to wipe until the whitened part is removed. Brush off lightly with the supplied brush after wiping.

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 gets cold in a cold environment etc., performance of the LCD monitor may temporarily drop immediately after turning the power on, such as the picture on the LCD monitor being slightly darker than usual or ghost images appearing. Keep the camera warm when using in a cold environment. The performance will resume to normal when the internal temperature rises.

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, the microphone, and the speaker

•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.

•If there is water or dirt on the lens, wipe it off with dry soft cloth before taking a picture.

•A sound might be muffled or warped when there is water on the microphone or the speaker. Wipe the residues after letting the water drip out from the microphone and speaker by tipping the camera downward, and use it after letting it dry for a while.

•Do not poke the holes of microphone and speaker with sharp points. (It may damage the waterproof sheet inside, which may damage the waterproof performance.)
