Technical Notes
Batteries
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out and replace the batteries if nec-
essary ( 13). If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important
occasions.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh
before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a
warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover
some of its charge.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance
with local regulations.
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
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). 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
in the center of the lens and works out to 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. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off
any sand or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water,
then dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could
cause damage not covered under warranty.
