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.
