Exterior:
→ Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the
cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with
the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used
the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and
well wrung.
Viewfinder and monitor:
→ Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens
→ Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower, then
wipe gently with a lens cleaner.
Card
→ Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Storage
• When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the
battery and card, 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.
Note
• 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.
