the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung.

Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower, and wipe

Storage
• When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the batteries and
card from the camera, and keep it in a cool, dry place that is ventilated
well.
• Periodically, replace the batteries, 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 batteries have 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.
