For lenses
• Normally, a soft hair brush is sufficient to remove dust from the
outer lens elements. However, in case of more stubborn dirt,
they can be carefully cleaned with a very clean, soft cloth that is
completely free of foreign matter, using circular motions from the
inside to the outside. We recommend micro-fiber cloths
(available from photographic and optical specialists) that are
stored in a protective container and can be washed at
temperatures of up to 40°C/104°F (without fabric softener,
never iron!). Cloths for cleaning glasses, which are impregnated
with chemicals, must not be used as they can damage the lens
glass.
• The lens hood supplied also protects the lens from unintentional
fingerprints and the rain.
For the battery
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through internal
chemical reactions. These reactions are also influenced by the
external temperature and humidity. Very high or low temperatures
reduce the life of the battery.
• Always remove the battery, if you will not be using the camera for
a long period of time. Otherwise, it could become totally
discharged after several weeks, i.e. its voltage will fall sharply.
• Lithium ion batteries should only be stored in a partially charged
condition, i.e. not fully charged or fully discharged. For very long
storage periods, the battery should be charged for around 15
minutes twice a year to prevent total discharge.
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely
accessible. Whilst lithium ion batteries are proof against short
circuits, they should still be protected against contact with metal
objects such as paper clips or jewelry. A short-circuited battery
can get very hot and cause severe burns.
• In order to charge the battery, it must have a temperature of
between 0°C and 35°C / 32°F and 95°F (otherwise the charger
may not turn on or off again).
• If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts
immediately for any damage. Using a damaged battery can
damage the camera.
• Batteries have only a limited service life.
• Take damaged batteries to a collection point for proper recycling.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause them to
explode.
For the charger
• If the charger is used in the vicinity of radio receivers, it can
interfere with the reception; make sure there is a distance of at
least 1m between the devices.
• When the charger is in use, it can make a noise (buzzing) – this is
quite normal and is not a malfunction.
• When it is not in use, disconnect the charger from the mains as
otherwise it uses a certain (very small) amount of power even
when no battery is inserted in it.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit
them.
