Maintenance
 Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
Exterior:
T 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:
T Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens, mirror and focusing screen:
T Blow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially available blower.
For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper. Do not use a high-pressure bottled
blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed onto the lens, mirror, or focusing screen by non-
authorized service persons, the camera will be damaged.
 Camera maintenance
If you have not used the camera for a long time, remove the battery and store it in a
well-ventilated, cool and dry place.
Note
● Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.
● Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the
camera from corrosion.
● Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
● Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works
properly.
Cleaning and Checking the CCD
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the CCD and to
remove any dust or dirt from the CCD surface with ultrasonic vibrations. Dust reduction works
when the power switch is set to ON. This function also operates whenever PIXEL MAPPING is
activated.
Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the camera should
be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.
