Camera maintenance
Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
Exterior:
T
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild
soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then
dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth
soaked in clean water and well wrung.
Monitor and viewfinder:
T
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens, mirror and focusing screen:
T
Blow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially
available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper. Do not
use a high-pressure bottled blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed onto the
lens, mirror, or focusing screen by non-authorized service persons, the
camera will be damaged.
Storage
•
When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery and card.
Store the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
•
Replace the battery periodically and test camera functions.
●
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated
cloth.
●
Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to
protect the camera from corrosion.
●
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
●
Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long
time. Before taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check
that the camera works properly.
Note
Cleaning and Checking the CCD
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on
the CCD and to remove any dust or dirt from the CCD surface with ultrasonic
vibrations. Dust reduction works when the power switch is set to ON.
Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the
camera should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective. The
SSWF indicator blinks while dust reduction is working.
