Cleaning
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery. 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, cleanser, kitchen detergents, etc., to
clean the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.
•
When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the accompanying instructions.
•
When salt etc., has adhered to the camera, the arm part of the
side door etc., may whiten. Use damp cotton swabs or similar
to wipe until the whitened part is removed. Brush off lightly
with the supplied brush after wiping.

About the LCD monitor
•
Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colours may appear on the LCD
monitor and it may malfunction.
•
If the camera gets very cold in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude,
performance of the LCD monitor may temporarily drop immediately after turning the power on,
e.g. the picture on the LCD monitor being slightly darker than usual or ghost images appearing.
Keep the camera warm when using in a cold environment. The performance will resume as
normal when the internal temperature rises.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue, or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
