Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
Exterior:
• 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.
LCD monitor:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens:
• Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens
cleaning paper.
Storage
• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store the
camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image
pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device surface with
ultrasonic vibrations.The dust reduction function operates when the camera is turned on. The
dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, which checks the
image pickup device and image processing circuitry. 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.

Notes
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a 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.
