Camera maintenance

Cleaning the camera
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 used the camera at the beach,
clean it with a cloth that has been soaked in clean water and well wrung.
Lens
Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available hand blower. Apply
a small amount of lens cleaning solution to some lens cleaning paper
and gently wipe the lens.
Monitor
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Card, battery and charger
Wipe gently with a dry cloth.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically
treated cloths.
Cleaning should be done only after the battery has been removed and the
AC adapter and power coupler have been disconnected.

Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty or wet.
Storing the camera
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the battery
and card and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
You are recommended to occasionally load the battery and operate the
camera to keep it in working order.
Condensation inside the camera
What is condensation?
When it is cold outside, the water vapor in the air is rapidly cooled and
turns to droplets of water. Condensation occurs when the camera is
suddenly taken from the cold air into a warm room.
To prevent condensation
When taking the camera suddenly from a cold to a warm place, place it
in a plastic bag and make the bag as airtight as possible. Leave the
camera for approximately one hour until the camera adjusts to the
temperature difference.
