Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun
Do  not leave the lens pointed at the sun or 
another sight source for an extended period.  
Intense light may cause the image sensor to 
deteriorate or produce a white blur eff ect in 
photographs.

Blooming
Vertical white streaks may appear in photo-
graphs of the sun or other strong light sources.  
This phenomenon, known as “blooming,” can 
be prevented by reducing the amount of light 
that falls on the image sensor, either by choos-
ing a slow shutter speed and small aperture or 
by using an ND fi lter.

ily damaged.  Under no cir cum stanc es should

Cleaning
•  When cleaning the camera body, use a blow-

 er to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently 
with a soft, dry cloth.  After using your cam-
era at the beach or seaside, wipe off  any sand 
or salt using a cloth lightly damp ened with 
pure water and then dry your camera thor-
oughly.  In rare in stanc es, static electricity 
produced by a brush or cloth may cause the 
LCD dis plays to light up or dark en.  This does 
not in di cate a malfunction, and the dis play 
will shortly return to normal.

•  When cleaning the lens and mirror, re mem ber 

that these elements are easily dam 

aged. 

 

Dust and lint should be gen tly removed with 
a blower.  When using an aerosol blower, 
keep the can vertical (tilting the can could 
result in liquid be ing sprayed on the mir ror).  
If you do get a fi ngerprint or other stain on 
the lens, apply a small amount of lens cleaner 
to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.

•  See “Cleaning the Low-Pass Filter” for informa-

tion on cleaning the low-pass fi lter (
