Caring for the Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when storing or using the device. Technical Notes Handle the lens and all moving parts with care Do not apply force to the lens or monitor or to the connector or battery-chamber/memory card slot covers. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
PAGE 85
Cleaning Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your ﬁngers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove ﬁngerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
