Cleaning
Wipe the screen surface with an LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove 
fingerprints, dust, etc.
• When cleaning the lens surface, remove dust using a blower. In case of 
dust that sticks to the surface, wipe it off with a soft cloth or tissue paper 
slightly moistened with lens cleaning solution. Wipe in a spiral pattern 
from the center to the outside. Do not spray lens cleaning solution directly 
onto the lens surface.
• Do not touch the inside of the camera, such as lens contacts, or the mirror. 
Since dust on the mirror or around the mirror may affect the autofocus 
system, blow away dust using a commercially available blower. If dust 
lands on the image sensor, it may appear on the photo image. Turn the 
camera to the cleaning mode, then clean it using a blower (page 32). Do 
not use a spray blower to clean the inside of the camera. Using this may 
cause a malfunction.
• Do not use a cleaning solution containing organic solvents, such as 
thinner, or benzine.
Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, 
then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Do not use the following as they 
may damage the finish or the casing.
• Chemical products such as thinner, benzine, alcohol, disposable cloths, 
insect repellent, sunscreen or insecticide, etc.
• Do not touch the camera with the above on your hand.
• Do not leave the camera in contact with rubber or vinyl for a long time.
