If necessary, clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.
If the LCD screen gets fingerprints or smudges on it, use
a soft, damp cloth to lightly wipe the screen.
Storing the Camera
Keep the lens covered (power turned off) and store the
camera in a carrying case or bag when you're not
using it.
When the camera is not used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature
in a dry location. This prevents camera damage from
battery leaks or corrosion.
Do not store the camera in the following locations:
Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, for example,
on a car dashboard
Near bright sources of light or high humidity
Near heat sources or in a closed car or trunk
