Storage and Maintenance

Cleaning

Before cleaning the camera, turn it off and remove the batteries.

• Never use chemically-treated dust cloths or strong solvents such as benzine or alcohol.

Camera Exterior

• Gently clean the exterior with a soft cloth. To remove stubborn stains, use a cloth that has

been moistened in a solution of water and neutral detergent and then thoroughly wrung out.

The camera should then be dried carefully using a dry cloth. After using the camera at the

seaside, clean it with a cloth that has been moistened in fresh water and then thoroughly

wrung out.

The Monitor

• Gently clean the monitor with a soft cloth.

Lens

• Use a lens blower (available from third-party suppliers) to remove dust and lint. Clean the

lens gently using a lens cleaning wipe.

Storage

• Remove the batteries and memory cards before putting the camera away for an extended

period. Store the camera in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location.

• Periodically reinsert the batteries and check that the camera is functioning normally.

• Remove dust and lint from the body and rear caps before putting them in place.

• If the camera will be stored without a lens attached, attach the body cap to prevent dust

entering the camera. Be sure to replace the front and rear caps on the lens before putting it

away.

• Clean the camera before putting it away.

• Do not store the camera with insect repellent.

• Do not store the camera in areas where chemicals are handled, as this could cause

corrosion or other forms of damage.

• Leaving the lens dirty could encourage the growth of mold.

• If the camera has been left unused for a long period of time, inspect all parts before use. Be

sure to take a test shot to conﬁ rm that the camera is functioning normally before using it on a

trip or on other important occasions.
