Technical Notes

Cleaning

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Storage

Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. To prevent

mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the

camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.

Do not store the camera in any of the following locations:

• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%

• Exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)

• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions

or radios

For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (A25) in “Caring for

the Product” (A24).

Cleaning and Storage

Lens

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a

blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that

is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove

fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the

lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the

lens and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth

lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

Monitor

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains,

clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Body

Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry

cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty

environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly

dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter

inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
