Camera Maintenance - Canon PowerShot A5 Reference Manual

Camera Maintenance

Follow the procedures below to clean the
camera body, lens, viewfinder and LCD panel
when they become dirty.
• Never use thinners, benzene, synthetic
cleansers or water to clean the equip-
ment. The use of these substances may
distort or damage the equipment.
Camera Body
Gently wipe dirt off the camera body with a
soft cloth or an eyeglass lens wiper.
Lens
Use a lens blower to remove dust and dirt
from the lens.
• Never wipe anything directly on the
lens, even a soft cloth or eyeglass lens
wiper. If the lens accumulates dirt
that will not come off with a lens
blower, contact your camera retailer
or the closest Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.
Viewfinder
Use a lens blower to remove dust and dirt
from the viewfinder. If necessary, gently wipe
the viewfinder with a soft cloth or eyeglass
lens wiper to remove stubborn dirt accumula-
tions.
LCD panel
Use a lens blower to remove dust and dirt
from the LCD panel. If necessary, gently wipe
the LCD panel with a soft cloth or eyeglass
lens wiper to remove stubborn dirt accumula-
tions.
• Never rub or press strongly on the
LCD panel. Rubbing or pressing firmly
on the LCD panel may damage it or
lead to other problems.
