Technical Notes
kBatteries
Check the battery level when taking the camera out and replace the batteries
if necessary (c 16). 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 bat-
teries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold bat-
tery 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 accor-
dance 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 end). 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 at the center of the
lens and working toward 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 by the warranty.
