Underwater Use
For information on cleaning the camera after use under water or
on the seashore, see page 71.
Storage
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove
the battery and store it in a cool, dry area with the terminal cover
in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry,
well-ventilated area. Do not store your camera with naphtha or
camphor moth balls or in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic
fields, such as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above +50 °C (122 °F) or below
–10 °C (14 °F)
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage and Cleaning
Camera 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 sea-
side, wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened in
distilled water and dry thoroughly. Important: Dust or other
foreign matter inside the camera may cause damage not cov-
ered under warranty.
Lens
Lenses are easily damaged. Remove dust and lint with a
blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to
prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and
other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft
cloth and clean with care.
Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing finger-
prints and other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft
cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this
could result in damage or malfunction.
Dust shield
The dust shield is easily damaged. Remove dust and lint
with a blower.
