Cleaning
Camera Body
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera’s body. Never use chemically treated cloths or volatile
solvents such as paint thinner.
Lens
• Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower.
• Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never use tissue paper.
Condensation
Moving the camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water
droplets) to form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camera if condensation is detected.
Continued use may damage the camera.
Condensation may form in the following cases:
• When the camera is moved quickly from cold to warm places
• When the camera is left in a humid room
• When a cold room is heated rapidly
To avoid condensation
• Do not expose the camera to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
• Place the camera in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust gradually to temperature changes before
removing it from the bag.
When condensation is detected
The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the location and
weather conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camera.
