CAMERA CARE

• Do not subject the camera to shock or impact.

• This camera is neither waterproof nor splashproof. Inserting or removing batteries or the memory card, or
operating the camera with wet hands may damage the camera.
• When at the beach or near water, take care not to expose the camera to water or sand. Water, sand, dust,
or salt can damage the camera.
• Do not leave the camera under direct sunlight. Do not point the lens directly at the sun; the CCD may be
damaged.

CLEANING

• If the camera or the outside of the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth. If the camera or
lens comes in contact with sand, gently blow away loose particles. Wiping may scratch the surface.
• To clean the lens surface, first blow away any dust or sand, then, if necessary, moisten a lens tissue or
soft cloth with lens cleaning fluid and gently wipe the lens.
• Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
• Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.

the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel drying agent.
• Remove the batteries and memory card from the camera when not in use for extended periods.
• Do not store the camera in an area with naphthalene or mothballs.
• During long periods of storage, operate the camera occasionally. When taking the camera out of storage,
