Caring for the Camera
Technical Notes
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 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.
