Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Lens
When cleaning the lens, avoid touching it directly with your fingers. Remove dust or
lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints, oil, or other grime that cannot be removed
with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft, dry cloth or an eyeglass cleaning cloth, using
a gentle spiral motion that starts in the center and moves toward the edges. Do not
wipe forcefully or wipe with a rough cloth, otherwise the camera may be damaged
or malfunction. If you still cannot remove the grime, wet a soft cloth with a
commercial liquid lens cleaner and gently wipe off the grime.
Monitor

the area with a soft, dry cloth or an eyeglass cleaning cloth. Do not wipe forcefully or

Body

• After using the camera underwater or at the beach, gently wipe off any sand or
salt with a soft 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.
