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.
Oust
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.
