Owner's Manual

• Lasers and other bright light sources
Do not direct lasers or other extremely bright light sources toward the
lens, as this could damage the camera's image sensor.
• 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 fresh water and then dry the camera thoroughly. In rare instances,
static electricity may cause the LCD display to light up or go dark; this
does not indicate a malfunction. The display will soon return to normal.
• Cleaning the Lens and Mirror
These elements are easily damaged: remove dust and lint with a blower. If
using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the discharge of
liquid that could damage glass elements. 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.
• Cleaning the Low-Pass Filter
For information on cleaning the low -pass filter, see '1"he Low- Pass Filter"
( rn 179) and "Manual Cleaning" ( rn 183).
• The Lens Contacts
Keep the lens contacts clean.
