Clean the zoom ring and camera controls.
Being careful not to touch the lens
release button or the latches or security
locks on the connector and battery-
chamber/memory card slot covers,
press the flash pop-up button to raise

camera side to side, then operate the
lens zoom ring and each of the remaining camera controls a

Clean inside the covers.
After confirming that no water or
other foreign matter remains on the
camera, slowly open the connector
and battery-chamber/memory card
slot covers and remove any water
droplets, sand, or other foreign matter
from the interior with a soft, dry cloth.
Dry the camera and lens barrel with a
soft, dry cloth. Water, fingerprints, and
other foreign matter on the front lens
element should be removed immedi-
ately by gently wiping the glass with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use force.
Without removing the lens, place the
camera on a dry cloth as shown and
leave it to dry in a shady, well-venti-
lated area. Water will drain from the
zoom ring, pressure-equalization
vent, and the holes in the microphone
and speaker covers.
