CARE AND STORAGE

Cleaning
• If the camera or lens barrel is dirty,
wipe it gently 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 brush away any dust or sand
then, if necessary, moisten a lens tissue with lens cleaning
fluid and gently wipe the lens in a circular motion, starting
from the center.
• Never place lens fluid directly on the lens.
• Never touch the interior of the camera, especially the
shutter and mirror, doing so may impair their alignment and
movement. Dust on the mirror will not affect the picture
quality.
• Never use compressed air to clean the camera's interior, it
may cause damage to sensitive interior parts.
• Never use organic solvents to clean the
camera.
• Never touch the lens surface with your
fingers.
