• If the camera or the outside of the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth. If the
camera or lens comes in contact with sand, gently blow away loose particles. Wiping may scratch
the surface.
•To clean the lens surface, first blow away any dust or sand, then, if necessary, moisten a lens tis-
sue or soft cloth with lens cleaning fluid and gently wipe the lens.
• Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
• Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.
Cleaning
• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from dust and chemicals. When not in use for long
periods, store the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel drying agent.
• Remove the battery and memory card from the camera when not in use for extended periods.
• Do not store the camera in an area with naphthalene or mothballs.
• During long periods of storage, operate the camera occasionally. When taking the camera out of
storage, check that the camera is functioning properly before using.
Storage
• Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping
spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power
when they warm up.
• Do not store the battery when it is fully charged.
• When storing the battery for extended periods, recharge the battery for five minutes every six
months. The battery may not be able to be recharged if completely exhausted.
