Care and Storage

Care

Fingerprints or dirt on the lens will reduce performance so take extra care not to get it dirty.

Do not wipe dust or smears off the lens with your fingers. Use a lens blower, readily available at most photographic suppliers, to blow dust off, or a very soft cloth to wipe it lightly.

Be particularly diligent in cleaning the lens after use at the beach or around chemicals.

If your camera should malfunction, contact the Ricoh service center. This product generates high voltages and disassembly is hazardous. Under no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble it yourself.

Never use solvents, benzine, insecticides or other volatile substances on the equipment as this may deform or dissolve it.

Be careful not to let objects rub against the LCD monitor or the LCD panel as it is readily susceptible to scratching.

To clean the LCD monitor or the LCD panel, wipe it gently with a soft cloth that has been moistened in diluted detergent and well-wrung. Wipe off any moisture with a

soft, dry cloth.

Remove the batteries and AC adapter from the camera before commencing any of the above.

Storage

To prevent possible failures, avoid storing the camera in places that are:

Hot and damp, or subject to sharp temperature or humidity changes.

Sandy or dusty.

Subject to strong vibrations.

In contact with chemicals, such as insecticides, or rubber or PVC products for extended periods of time.

Near sources of strong electromagnetism (such as motors, transformers, and magnets).
