Caring for the Camera
Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, turn the camera off , replace the 
monitor cover, remove the battery, and store the battery 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 the 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 fi elds, such as televisions or 
radios
• are exposed to temperatures above 50 ˚C/122 ˚F (for example, near a space heater or in a 
closed vehicle in a hot day) or below –10 ˚C (14 ˚F)
Cleaning 
Camera body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.  After us-
ing the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off  sand or salt with a cloth lightly damp-
ened in distilled water and dry thoroughly.  ImportantDust or other foreign matter inside 
the camera may cause damage not covered under warranty
.
Lens, mirror, 
and viewfi nder
These elements are made of glass and 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 fi ngerprints 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 fi ngerprints 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.
   The Monitor
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent 
liquid crystal from the monitor from entering your eyes or mouth.
   The Control Panel
In rare cases, static electricity may cause the control panel to brighten or darken.  This does not indicate 
a malfunction, and the display will soon return to normal.
