Caring for Your Camera
To ensure that you continue to get the most from your camera, you
should observe the following precautions when cleaning and
storing your camera.
Cleaning
The lens is covered by a clear plastic shield. You should avoid
touching this shield with your fingers. Use a blower to remove dirt
and dust from the lens shield. If you do get a fingerprint or other
stain on the shield, wipe it carefully with a soft cloth.
Periodically dust the LCD monitor with a soft, dry cloth. You
should also clean the viewfinder and the body of the camera with
a soft cloth after removing dust and dirt with a blower. If necessary,
the body of the camera may be cleaned with a damp cloth, although
you should be sure to dry the camera immediately afterward. Do
not apply alcohol, thinner, or any other cleaning fluids to any part
of the camera.
Storage
Store your camera in a dry, well-ventilated
environment, away from electronic equip-
ment such as televisions or radios which
produce strong magnetic fields. Do not store
your camera where the temperature ex-
ceeds 50°C (122°F) or goes below -10°C
(14°F), or where the humidity exceeds 60%.
If you are not going to use the camera for a
long period of time, remove the batteries
before putting the camera away. Store the
camera with the lens rotated to a position
adjacent to the control panel, as shown at
right.
