Cleaning the Camera
1. Clean the exterior, wiping gently with a soft cloth. For heavy dirt, use diluted, mild
soap and wring the cloth well. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.
2. Wipe the LCD monitor gently with a soft, dry cloth.
3. To clean the lens and viewfinder, blow them with air using a blower brush. Wipe
gently with lens cleaning paper.

product.
