16. Materials
Removing dirt on the image sensor
The image sensor is very precise and delicate, so be sure to observe the
following when you do have to clean it yourself.
• Blow dust off the surface of the image sensor using a commercially available
blower. Do not blow the dust off with excessive power.
• Do not put the blower brush further inside than the lens mount as the image sensor
may get scratched.
• Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor.
• If you cannot remove the dirt or dust with the blower, consult the dealer or
Panasonic.

Cleaning the Viewfinder
• As the eye cup cannot be removed, blow away the dust on the viewfinder surface
with a blower (commercially available), gently wipe it with a dry and soft cloth, and
be careful not to remove it.
• If you wipe the eye cup too hard and it is removed, consult the dealer or
Panasonic.
™ ™
Monitor/Viewfinder
• Do not push hard on the monitor.
This may cause irregular coloration or malfunction.
• Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the monitor/viewfinder
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots, or spots that light
constantly (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 images on a card.
