Cleaning the Camera
1 Turn the camera Off.
2 Disconnect the camera from the AC adapter and from the computer if it is connected.
3 Using a clean, damp cloth, clean only the outside encasement, the Image LCD panel,
the Camera Status LCD panel, and the viewfinder.
4 To remove dust from the lens, mirror, or focusing screen, gently blow the dust away
using a commercially available bulb-type blower. If further cleaning is necessary,
consult your nearest service center.
5 Clean the viewfinder eyepiece with a soft, clean cloth. DO NOT use alcohol.
6 The shutter curtain can be easily damaged if touched. To remove dust from the shutter
curtain or surrounding area, use only a commercially available bulb-type blower.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the outside of the camera.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid directly touching any of these surfaces. Do not wipe the camera body or lens
with any type of cleaner containing organic solvents.
CAUTIONS:
Be careful not to blow air onto the curtain too strongly as this could deform or
damage the curtain. Aerosol spray dust removers should not be used near the
shutter curtain.
A spray gun-type blower may damage the optical glass if used to clean the
lens, especially if ED glass is used for the front lens element. To avoid damage,
hold the blower upright with its nozzle more than 30cm from the lens surface,
and keep the nozzle moving so the stream of air is not concentrated in one
spot.
