To Maintain the Efficiency of the CameraOperating and Storage Places

To avoid possible breakdown, do not use or store the camera in the following places:

•Extremely hot or cold places (The operating temperature is 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F))

•In direct sunlight for long periods or near heating equipment

•Humid or dusty places

•Where it is exposed to rain

•Places subject to strong vibrations

•Near sources of strong magnetism

•Near sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as TV or radio transmitters

Heat Emission

Do not wrap the camera in cloth or other materials when operating the camera. Doing so will raise the internal temperature and may cause breakdown.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, pack it in the original carton and packing materials, or similar packaging, to protect it from strong shocks during transportation.

Care

•Use a blower brush to remove dirt or dust from the surface of the lens or viewfinder.

•Lightly wipe the outside surface of the camera with a dry, soft cloth to remove dirt. If the body is very dirty, wipe it with a cloth moistened with a small amount of neutral detergent. Wipe dry with a cloth.

•Volatile liquids such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, or insecticide will damage the surface finish.
