Cleaning the camera

inside the mount with a commercially available blower*. For details on cleaning the
image sensor, see page 182.
* Do not use a spray type blower as doing so may cause a malfunction.
• Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, and then
wipe the surface with a dry cloth. To avoid damaging the finish or casing, follow the
instructions below.
– Do not use the chemical products such as thinner, benzine, alcohol, disposable
cloths, insect repellent, sunscreen or insecticide, etc.
– Do not touch the camera if you have the above chemical products on your hand.
– Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or vinyl for a long time.

Cleaning the lens

• Do not use a cleaning solution containing organic solvents, such as thinner, or benzine.
• When cleaning the lens surface, remove dust with a commercially available blower. In
case of dust that sticks to the surface, wipe it off with a soft cloth or tissue paper
slightly moistened with lens cleaning solution. Wipe in a spiral pattern from the center
to the outside. Do not spray lens cleaning solution directly onto the lens surface.
