Cautions when cleaning the digital disk camera and AC adapter/charger

Cleaning procedure

1Turn off the digital disk camera and remove the battery pack. (If the AC adapter/charger is connected, unplug its power cord.)

2Remove the dirt with a soft cloth.

3If the digital disk camera is extremely dirty, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent diluted with water and wrung dry.

Caution

œDo not use benzene or thinner products to clean the digital disk camera or AC adapter/charger. Doing so may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling. When using a chemically treated cloth, carefully read its instructions and warnings.

œDo not spray insecticides, or volatile sprays on the digital disk camera or AC adapter/charger. Do not leave rubber or vinyl objects against the digital disk camera or AC adapter/charger for a long period. They may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.

Cautions when cleaning the lens

œIf the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.

œIt is also possible to clean the viewfinder (see page 166).

Cautions concerning the battery pack terminals

œPeriodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals of the battery pack, digital disk camera, and AC adapter/charger.

œDo not touch the terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the usable life of the battery pack will diminish and recharging may become impossible.

Cautions when not using the digital disk camera

œAttach the lens cap whenever you are not using the digital disk camera.

When not using the digital disk camera for a long period

œRemove the battery pack. However, when the battery pack is removed for a long time, the digital disk camera functions may begin to not work properly. Periodically reinstall the battery pack and check the digital disk camera functions.

œIf the battery pack is left in the digital disk camera, a small amount of power is still used even if the digital disk camera is turned off. If the battery pack is left in the digital disk camera for a long period, it may become completely discharged and loose its ability to be recharged again.
