Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove
the battery and store it in a cool, dry area with the terminal cover in
place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-
ventilated area. Do not store your camera with naphtha or
camphor moth balls or in locations that:

fields, such as televisions or radios
•
are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below
–10 °C (14 °F)
Camera body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with
a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or
seaside, wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened
in distilled water and dry thoroughly.
Important
:
Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may
cause damage not covered under warranty

Lens
This glass element is easily damaged. Remove dust and lint
with a blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can
vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove
fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens
cleaner to a soft, dry cloth and clean with care.
Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing
fingerprints and other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a
soft, dry cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as
this could result in damage or malfunction.
