■Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft cloth moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral kitchen detergent. Wring all excess liquid from the cloth before wiping the camera. Next, wipe off all remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth.
Contact a qualified service person before cleaning the lenses. (Lenses do not move during cleaning.)
A dirty dome cover or lens causes deterioration of picture quality. Use lens cleaning paper (like the type available for cleaning eyeglasses or a camera lens) to clean the lens.
The dome cover is particularly susceptible to damage. Gently wipe it with a soft cloth.

■Self-diagnosing Function
If abnormal operation due to external noise or some other reason continues for more than 30 seconds, the camera will automatically reset itself and restore normal operation. Reset operation the same initialization routine that is performed when the camera is turned on.
