Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, 
remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry area with the 
terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the 
camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not store your camera 
with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic 
fields, such as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below 
–10 °C (14 °F)
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Caring for the Camera
Camera body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently 
with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach 
or seaside, wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly 
dampened in distilled water and dry thoroughly.
Important
Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera 
may cause damage not covered under warranty.
Lens, mirror, 
and 
viewfinder
These glass 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. To 
remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small 
amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and clean with care.
Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing 
fingerprints and other stains, wipe the surface lightly 
with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply 
pressure, as this could result in damage or malfunction.
