Cleaning and Storage
Lens
Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a
blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end
that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To
remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a
blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts
at the center of them and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean
the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
Monitor
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other
stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to
apply pressure.
Body
Use a blower to remove
dust, dirt, or sand, then
wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. If a foreign
substance adheres to the
waterproof packing inside
of the battery-chamber/
memory card slot cover or
inside of the battery
chamber, remove it with
the included brush. After using the camera underwater, or at the beach
or other sandy or dusty environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt
with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
If you handle the camera using hands where sunscreen lotion is
applied, this could cause deterioration of the camera exterior. Note
that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
