Cleaning
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery, and/or disconnect the power plug
from the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry, soft cloth.
• When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet cloth,
and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean the
camera, since it may damage the external casing or the coating may peel off.
• When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
When not using the camera for a long period of time
• Always remove the battery and the card from the camera.
• If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off. If
the battery continues to be left in the camera, it will discharge excessively and may become
unusable even if charged.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
• We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or
a cabinet.
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature: (Recommended
temperature: 15oC to 25oC (59oF to 77oF), Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)
• When storing the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year.
Remove the battery out of the camera and store it again after it has completely discharged.
• Check all the parts before taking pictures when you have not used the camera for a long period
of time.
About the Monitor/Viewfinder
• Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the monitor and it
may malfunction.
• If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the image on the monitor/viewfinder will be slightly
darker than usual at first. However, the image will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the monitor/
viewfinder screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or
green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor/Viewfinder
screen parts are produced with highly controlled precision technology, some
pixels may be inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures
on a card.
