Care
• Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will
suffer.
• When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your
fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft
cloth to gently dust it off. Special care should be taken for the lens barrel.
• After use at the beach or around chemicals, wipe it off particularly carefully.
• In the unlikely event that your camera fails to work properly, please consult
your Ricoh Repair Center.

your camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint to peel, etc.

objects against it.
• Clean the surface of the picture display by wiping gently with a soft cloth
containing a small amount of display cleaner (that does not contain organic
