Cleaning your camera
Cleaning the screen and lens
Wipe the screen and lens with the supplied
cleaning cloth to remove any fingerprints or
dirt. The cleaning cloth can be washed and
reused.
Cleaning the camera surface
First remove the battery from the camera.
Wipe the camera surface with a soft cloth
that has been moistened with water or
lukewarm water and thoroughly wrung out,
and then wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as
these may damage the finish.
After using the camera at the beach or a
dusty location
Clean the camera carefully. Salt air causes
metal parts to corrode and sand and dust in
the camera may result in a malfunction.
