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
camera 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
and mirror are 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.
See
the
Reference
Manual
for information on cleaning
the image sensor.
Do
not
touch
the
shutter
curtain:
The shutter curtain
is
extremely
thin
and
easily
damaged. Under no circumstances
should
you exert pressure on
the curtain, poke
it
with
cleaning tools,
or
subject
it
to
powerful air
currents from a blower.
These actions
could scratch, deform,
or
tear
the
curtain.
Storage:
To
prevent mold
or
mildew,
store the camera in a dry,
well-
ventilated
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 containing a desiccant. Do not, however,
store the camera
case
in a
plastic
bag,
as
this may cause
the
material
to
deteriorate. Note
that
desiccant
gradually loses
its capacity
to
absorb moisture and should
be
replaced
at
regular 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.
