Cleaning:
When
cleaning
the
camera
body,
use
a
blower
to
gently
remove
dust and
lint,
then wipe
gently
with
a soft,
dry
cloth.
After using the cam-
era
at the beach
or
seaside, wipe
off
any sand
or
salt
using a
cloth lightly
dampened in pure water and then
dry
the camera
thoroughly.
The lens
is
easily
damaged. Dust and
lint
should
be
gently
removed
with
a blower. When using
an
aerosol blower,
keep
the
can
vertical
to
prevent
discharge
of
liquid.
To
remove fingerprints and
other
stains from the
lens, apply
a small amount
of
lens cleaner
to
a soft
cloth
and wipe the
lens
carefully.
Storage:
To
prevent mold
or
mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-venti-
lated area.
If
you
are
using
an
AC
adapter, unplug
the adapter
to
prevent
fire.
If
the product
will
not
be used for
an
extended period, remove the
battery
to
prevent
leakage and store the camera in a plastic
bag contain-
ing a desiccant. Do not, however, store the camera
case
in a
plastic
bag,
as
this may cause the material
to
deteriorate. Note
that
desiccant gradu-
ally loses
its capacity
to
absorb moisture and
should
be
replaced
at reg-
ular intervals.
To
prevent mold or
mildew,
take
the
camera
out
of
storage at least once
a month. Turn the camera on and
release the shutter a few times before
putting
it
away.
Store the battery in a
cool,
dry
place. Replace
the terminal cover before
putting
the battery away.
Notes
on
the
monitor
and
viewfinder:
These
displays
are constructed
with
Iii
extremely
high precision; at least
99.99°/o
of
pixels
are
effective,
with
no
-
~
more than
0.01
o/o
being missing
or
defective. Hence while these
displays
may
contain
pixels
that
are always
lit
(white, red,
blue,
or
green)
or
always
off
(black),
this
is
not
a
malfunction and
has
no effect on images
recorded
with
the device.
Images
in the
monitor
may be
difficult
to
see
in a
bright
light.
Do
not
apply
pressure
to
the
displays,
as
this
could
cause damage
or
malfunction. Dust or
lint
on the
displays
can
be removed
with
a
blower.
Stains can be removed by
wiping
lightly
with
a soft
cloth
or chamois
leather. Should
the
monitor
or viewfinder break, care
should
be taken
to
avoid injury from broken
glass and
to
prevent
liquid crystal
from the dis-
play
touching the skin
or
entering
the
eyes
and mouth.
