Shooting tips and maintenance
Cleaning and storing the camera
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.
Exterior:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and 
wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used 
the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung.
Monitor and viewfinder:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens, mirror and focusing screen:
• Blow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially available blower. For the 
lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.
Storage
• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and card. Store the 
camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera’s functions.
Cleaning and checking the image pickup device
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image 
pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device surface with 
ultrasonic vibrations. Dust reduction is activated when the power switch is set to ON and 
when starting and stopping live view. The dust reduction function operates at the same time 
as the pixel mapping, which checks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. 
Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera 
should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective. The SSWF indicator 
blinks while dust reduction is working.

Notes
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the 
camera from corrosion.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before 
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works 
properly.
