CARE AND STORAGE
Do not leave the camera in any place exposed to excessive heat,
humidity or direct sunlight — for example, in a car or on the beach.
Do not expose the camera to formalin or naphthalene.
If the camera gets wet, wipe it with a dry towel. The salt in seawater
can be especially damaging.
Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or paint thinner when
cleaning the camera.
Do not leave the camera on or near a television, refrigerator or other
appliance with a magnetic field.
Do not expose the camera to dust or sand as this could cause serious
damage.
Do not shake or shock the camera.
Do not apply excessive force to the zoom lens.
Do not expose the camera to extreme heat (over 40
o
C/ 104
o
F) or to
extreme cold (below –10
o
C/ 14
o
F). Low temperatures, even within
this range may sometimes cause deterioration in battery
performance, temporarily disabling the camera.
Avoid leaving the camera unused for long periods of time. This can
cause mold to grow on the camera as well as other problems. Try to
press the shutter release button and check the operation of the
camera before use.
Some airport X-ray machines can damage the film in your camera.
Try to avoid passing your camera through these machines. Give it to
the security officer for manual inspection.
Do not touch the front surface of the flash after using the flash
continuously in a short time as the flash may be hot.
