Cleaning the camera and lens

Cleaning the camera
• Do not touch parts inside the camera, such as the lens contacts or the
mirror. Since dust on the mirror or around the mirror may affect the
images or the performance of the camera, blow the dust away using a
commercially available blower*. For details on cleaning the image
sensor, see the next page.
* 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,
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 with the above substances on your hand.
– Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or vinyl for extended
periods of 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 using a commercially
available blower. In case of dust that sticks to the surface, wipe it off
using 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.
