Tips on Handling the Camera and Batteries
Camera Care
WARNING
• Cleaning the camera
First lightly blow off dirt and dust with a blower, then gently wipe the body with a clean
soft cloth. After using the camera near sea water, wipe the body with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with tap water to remove salt, then lightly wipe it with a dry cloth.
• Cleaning the mirror and lens
The mirror and lens are very sensitive. Clean them only by lightly blowing off dust with a
blower.
If the lens is smeared, such as with fingerprints, gently wipe it with a clean, soft cloth
moistened with commercially available lens cleaner.
• Do NOT subject the camera or lens to strong shock.
Be careful not to drop the camera and lens or hit them against a hard surface.
Such strong shock may damage the camera or badly affect the precisely adjusted parts.
• Do NOT touch the shutter curtains.
The shutter curtains are made of a very thin material. NEVER hold, push, or strongly
blow with a blower. Such actions can crack, deform, or damage the curtains.
• Avoid locations where strong radio waves or strong electromagnetic fields are generated.
The camera may not operate correctly in a location where a strong radio wave or strong
electromagnetic field is generated, such as near a television tower.
• Store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
To eliminate mold and damage, store the camera in a dry place with sufficient ventila-
tion.
•
Do NOT leave the camera in a place exposed to chemicals such as camphor or
naphthalene, near equipment generating a strong magnetic emission, or in an
excesively hot place, such as inside a car or in front of a heater.
• Avoid extreme temperature changes.
Extreme temperature changes can cause condensation outside and inside the camera.
When taking the camera to very hot place from a cold place or vice versa, place it inside
an airtight container such as a plastic bag and leave it inside awhile to expose the
camera gradually to the temperature change.
Do NOT use thinner, benzene or other or-
ganic solvents to clean the camera.
They may damage the camera, cause it to catch fire,
or harm your health.
