Cleaning
Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or disconnect the power plug from the
outlet. 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, 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.
About the LCD monitor
•
Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the LCD monitor
and it may malfunction.
•
If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly darker than
usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal temperature of
the camera increases.
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.
About the Lens
•
Do not press the lens with excessive force.
•
Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may cause it to
malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
