Caring for the Camera
Cleaning
The procedure varies with the part that requires cleaning. The
procedures are detailed below.
•
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
❚❚
Camera Body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off sand or
salt with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and dry the camera
thoroughly.
Important
:
Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may cause
product malfunction. Damage due to the presence of foreign matter inside
the camera is not covered under warranty.
❚❚
Lens and Viewfinder
These glass elements are easily damaged: remove dust and lint with a
blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the
discharge of liquid that could damage glass elements. To remove
fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a
soft cloth and clean with care.
❚❚
The Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing smudges,
fingerprints, and other oily stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft
cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this could result in
damage or malfunction.
