Do not point the lens at strong light sources

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other 
strong light sources for extended periods 
when using or storing the camera.  Intense 
light may cause deterioration in the image

photographs.

easily damaged.  Under no cir 

cum stanc es 

should you exert pres

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 camera 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 thoroughly.  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 (tilt-
ing 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, ap-
ply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft 
cloth and wipe the lens carefully.

• See “Technical Notes: Caring for Your 

Cam era” for information on cleaning the 
low-pass fi lter (

 240).

Storage
• To prevent mold or mildew, store the cam-

 era in a dry, well-ven ti lat ed area.  If you 
will not be us ing the prod uct for long pe-
 ri ods, re move the bat tery to pre vent leak-
 age and store the cam era in a plastic bag 
con tain ing a des ic cant.  Do not, how ev er, 
store the cam era case in a plas tic bag, as 
this may cause the ma te ri al to de te ri o rate.  
Note that des ic cant grad u al ly los es its ca-
 pac i ty to ab sorb mois ture and should be 
re placed at reg u lar in ter vals.
