Camera Care and Storage
Caring for the Camera
• Photographs can be affected by fingerprints and other foreign
matter on the lens. Avoid touching the lens with your fingers.
Remove dust or lint with a blower from a camera supply store,
or gently clean the lens with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the picture
display by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with a small
amount of any monitor cleaner that does not contain organic
solvents.
• Clean the camera thoroughly after using it at the beach or han
-
dling cosmetics. Do not expose the camera to volatile substanc-
es such as thinner, benzene, or pesticides. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to the camera or its finish.
• In the unlikely event of malfunction, visit a Ricoh Repair Center.
• The camera contains high-voltage circuits. Do not disassemble.
• The picture display is easily scratched, avoid touching it with
hard objects.
Storage
• Do not store the camera where it will be exposed to: extreme
heat or humidity, large changes in temperature or humidity, dust,
dirt, or sand, severe vibration, prolonged contact with chemicals,
including mothballs and other insect repellent, or with vinyl or
rubber products, strong magnetic fields (for example, in the vi-
cinity of a monitor, transformer, or magnet).
• Remove the batteries if the product will be left unused for a long
period of time.
Before Cleaning
Turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect the AC
adapter.
