Turn off the camera, detach the lens hood, and then fit the lens cap on the lens.
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period, remove the battery.
(Cleaning the camera
1 Turn off the camera. (gP.25)
2 Remove the battery (gP.18). (If you are using an AC adapter,
unplug the AC adapter from the camera first before removing the
plug from the AC outlet.)
3 Exterior:
→ Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild
soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then
dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth
soaked in clean water and well wrung.
Monitor and viewfinder:
→ Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens
→ Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower, then wipe gently
with a lens cleaner.
Card
→ Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
(Storage
• When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery and the
card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is ventilated well.
• Periodically, replace the battery, and test camera functions.
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically
treated cloth.
• Cleaning should be done only after the battery has been removed or the AC
adapter has been disconnected.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are handled
since this may result in corrosion.
