Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Be sure that the power-on lamp is off before putting the
camera away. Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. Do
not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or in any of the following
locations:
• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or
radios
• Exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F)
• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the
camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.
For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (
F
3) in “Caring for the
Product” (
F
2).
Cleaning and Storage
Lens
Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower
(typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to
produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints or other stains
that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral
motion that starts at the center of them and working toward the edges. If this fails,
clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
Monitor
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, clean the
monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.
Body
Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty environment, wipe off
any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water and dry
thoroughly.
Note that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
