USING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY
k
Cautions when cleaning the digital camera
Cleaning procedure
1 Turn off the digital camera and remove the battery pack.
2 Remove the dirt with a soft cloth.
3 If the digital camera is extremely dirty, wipe with a soft cloth moist-
ened with a mild detergent diluted with water and wrung dry.
Caution
i
Do not use benzene or thinner products to clean the digital camera. Doing
so may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling. When using a
chemically treated cloth, carefully read its instructions and warnings.
i
Do not spray insecticides or volatile sprays on the digital camera. Do not
let rubber or vinyl objects contact the digital camera for a long period. They
may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.
k
Caution concerning the battery pack
i
Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the bat-
teries.
Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will
allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxi-
dize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases,
the usable life of the batteries will diminish.
k
Caution when cleaning the lens
i
If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning
cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.
