Care and maintenance
When correctly handled, the XC30 camera has a long life span and is to a large
extent maintenance-free. The full functionality is assured when you observe the care
instructions.
Cleaning the protective glass
To clean the camera's protective glass, use a common blower bulb to blow dust
away and wipe it gently with cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
In the case of fingerprints, oil smudges or the like on the protective glass, wipe it with
clean gauze moistened with pure alcohol.
Cleaning the housing
Parts other than the glass components should be cleaned by wiping with a clean
cloth. Do not use organic solvents to remove major stains. Use a soft cloth
moistened with a neutral detergent solution.
Operating the camera with a laptop
When you operate the camera with an external FireWire board connected to a
laptop, only connect it to the power supply when you are actually using the camera.
Doing this avoids using unnecessary energy.
Danger of fire when using alcohol!
Alcohol is highly flammable and can cause fires.
Make absolutely sure that the alcohol doesn't come into contact with open flames
or electric components.
Warning
Do not dismantle any parts!
The camera is made up of parts that are easily damaged and their disassembly
can quickly cause a malfunction or reduced performance.
Therefore, do not dismantle any parts of the camera.
