Storage
• When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery, and
keep in a cool, dry place that is ventilated well.
• Periodically, replace the battery, and test camera functions.
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or
chemically treated cloth.
• Cleaning should be done only after the battery has been removed or
the AC adapter has been disconnected.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are
handled since this may result in corrosion.
