Operating or storage location

Operating or storing the camera in the following locations may cause damage to the camera:

Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: –5°C to +45°C [23°F to 113°F])

Exposed in direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)

Close to sources of strong magnetism

Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters

Locations subject to strong vibration or shock

Ventilation

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in materials equal in quality.

Cleaning

Use a blower to remove dust from the lens or optical filter.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.

Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.
