CARE AND STORAGE
Cleaning
• If the camera or lens barrel is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
If the camera or lens comes in contact with sand, gently blow away loose particles –
wiping may scratch the surface.
• To clean the lens surface, first brush away any dust or sand then, if necessary,
moisten a lens tissue with lens cleaning fluid and gently wipe the lens in a circular
motion, starting from the center.
• Never place lens fluid directly on the lens.
• Never touch the interior of the camera, especially the shutter and mirror.
Doing so may impair their alignment and movement. Dust on the mirror will not
affect the picture quality.
• Never use compressed air to clean the camera’s interior, it may cause damage to
sensitive interior parts.
• Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
• Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.
Storage
When storing your camera for extended periods, please follow these guidelines:
• Always attach the protective caps.
• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from dust and chemicals such as
moth balls. For very long periods, place the camera in an airtight container with a
silica gel drying agent.
• Periodically release the camera’s shutter to keep it operating properly.
• Before using after prolonged storage, always check the camera’s operation to make
sure it is functioning properly.
