Cleaning : When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove
dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the cam-
era at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly
dampened in pure water and then dry the camera thoroughly.
Lenses are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with
a blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent
discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a
small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.
Storage : To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-venti-
lated area. If you are using an AC adapter, unplug the adapter to prevent
fire. If the product will not be used for an extended period, remove the
battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag contain-
ing a desiccant. Do not, however, store the camera case in a plastic bag,
as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradu-
ally loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at reg-
ular intervals.
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 it away.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Replace the terminal cover before
putting the battery away.
Notes on the monitor
: This display may contain a few pixels that are always
lit or that do not light. This is common to all TFT LCD displays and does
not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded with the product are unaf-
fected.
Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the display, as this could cause damage or mal-
function. Dust or lint on the displays can be removed with a blower.
Stains can be removed by wiping lightly with a soft cloth or chamois
leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury
from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the display touch-
ing the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.
