Care

Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will suffer.

When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off.

If the camera is dirty or after use at the beach, take the following steps: Make sure the battery/card cover and terminal cover are securely closed. Fill a wash-basin or bowl with tap water and use the water to remove any dirt, sand or salt from the camera, and then wipe the camera dry with a soft, dry cloth.

If the rubber packing is dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. If the rubber packing has anything sticking to it or it is cracked or damaged, its waterproofing function may be compromised, resulting in leakage. If dirt cannot be removed or the packing is damaged, request your nearest dealer or Ricoh Repair Center to replace the packing.

In the unlikely event that your camera fails to work properly, please consult your Ricoh Repair Center.

There are high voltage circuits in this camera. As this is dangerous, do not dismantle this camera under any circumstances.

Clean the surface of the picture display by wiping gently with a soft cloth containing a small amount of display cleaner sold in stores.
