Care and Maintenance
!
Avoid leaving the camera in the sun or in a very warm location (beach, car, and so on) for
prolonged periods.
!
Do not wrap the camera in cloth or plastic while it is on (heat and moisture may be trapped and
damage the camera).
!
Avoid using the camera in excessively cold (below 0°C/32°F) or excessively warm (above
40°C/104°F) conditions.
!
When you bring the camera from a cold to a warm location, allow the camera to reach room
temperature before you use it.
!
If condensation develops inside the camera, stop using it immediately. Remove the batteries
and (if needed) the CompactFlash memory card and leave the camera at room temperature
for a few hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.
!
To clean the camera lens or LCD, blow away any surface dust or dirt. Then breathe on the
surface to form a mist and gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning tissue.
!
To avoid scratching the lens, use a gentle, circular motion when wiping.
!
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners on the outside surfaces of the camera. Wipe off dust
with a clean, dry cloth.
