Exterior:
Æ Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth
in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp
cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at
the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and well wrung.
Monitor and viewfinder:
Æ Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens:
Æ Blow dust off the lens with a commercially available blower, then
wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.
Card:
Æ Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or
chemically treated cloths.
• Cleaning should be done only after the battery has been removed or
the AC adapter has been disconnected.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
