Cleaning and Storage
❚❚ Cleaning
Lens: Avoid touching the glass with your fingers. Remove dust or
lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb on
one end, which is pumped to produce a stream of air from the
other). To remove fingerprints and other stains, wipe the lens
with a soft cloth, working in a spiral from the center outward and
applying lens cleaner (available from third-party suppliers) to the
cloth if required.
Monitor: Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove
fingerprints and other stains, use a soft, dry cloth, being careful
not to apply pressure.
Body: Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently
with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or
seaside, use a cloth lightly dampened in fresh water to wipe off
any sand or salt and then dry the camera thoroughly.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Important: Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may
cause damage not covered under warranty.
❚❚ Storage
Do not store the camera next to equipment that produces strong
electromagnetic fields (such as televisions or radios) or in
locations that are poorly ventilated, subject to humidities over
60%, or exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below
–10°C (14°F).
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at
least once a month, turn it on, and release the shutter a few times
before putting the camera away again.
