Caring for the Camera

Long-Term Storage

Remove the battery if the product will not be used for an extended period. Before removing the
battery, confirm that the camera is off.
Do not store the camera in locations that:
are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%,
are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios, or
are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below −20 °C (−4 °F).

Cleaning

The procedure varies with the part that requires cleaning. The procedures are detailed below.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Camera Body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at
the beach or seaside, wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and dry the
camera thoroughly.
Important: Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may cause product malfunction. Damage due
to the presence of foreign matter inside the camera is not covered under warranty.
Lens and Viewfinder
These glass elements are easily damaged: remove dust and lint with a blower. If using an aerosol
blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid that could damage glass elements. To
remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and clean
with care.
The Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains, wipe
the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this could result in
damage or malfunction.
