Cleaning: When cleaning the camera
body, use a blower to gently
remove dust and lint, then wipe
gently with a soft, dry cloth.
After
using the camera at the beach or
seaside, wipe off any sand or salt
using a cloth lightly dampened in
pure water and then dry the
camera thoroughly.
In rare
instances, static electricity may
cause the LCD displays to light up
or go dark.
This does not indicate a
malfunction, and the display will
soon return to normal.
The lens and mirror are easily
damaged.
Dust and lint should be
gently removed with a blower.
When using an aerosol blower,
keep the can vertical to prevent
discharge of liquid.
To remove
fingerprints and other stains from
the lens, apply a small amount of
lens cleaner to a soft cloth and
wipe the lens carefully.
See “The Low-Pass Filter” (pp. 373,
376) for information on cleaning
the low-pass filter.
Lens contacts: Keep the lens contacts
clean.
Do not touch the shutter curtain: The
shutter curtain is extremely thin
and easily damaged.
Under no
circumstances should you exert
pressure on the curtain, poke it
with cleaning tools, or subject it to
powerful air currents from a
blower.
These actions could
scratch, deform, or tear the curtain.
Storage: To prevent mold or mildew,
store the camera in a dry, well-
ventilated area.
If the product will
not be used for an extended
period, remove the battery to
prevent leakage and store the
camera in a plastic bag containing
a desiccant.
Do not, however, store
the camera case in a plastic bag, as
this may cause the material to
deteriorate.
Note that desiccant
gradually loses its capacity to
absorb moisture and should be
replaced at regular intervals.
To prevent mold or mildew, take
the camera out of storage at least
once a month.
Turn the camera on
and release the shutter a few times
before putting it away.
Store the battery in a cool, dry
place.
Replace the terminal cover
before putting the battery away.
