Handling
With careful handling, your camera should produce images of the highest quality for years
to come.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop the camera or subject it to shock. (While it has been
designed for durability, it is a precision instrument and should be handled with
care.)
Keep it out of salt spray and protect it from excessive moisture. If you use it at the
beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.
Do not touch the camera’s electronic contacts with your fingers. Touching the
contacts can cause corrosion and affect proper camera operation.
After removing a lens from the camera, place it face down on a flat surface to
avoid damaging the electronic contacts on the lens mount.
Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm place. If
the autofocus optics cloud over, accuracy may be seriously affected. Before
entering a warm place, put equipment in a plastic bag so condensation forms on
the outside of the bag.
