Storing the Camera
✔ Wrap the camera in a clean, soft cloth and store it in a well-ventilated, cool, dry,
dust-free place.
✔ Keep the camera out of direct sunlight, and away from “hot spots” such as the
trunk or rear window shelf of a car.
✔ Avoid places where chemical agents such as moth balls are used, and use a
desiccant when there is extreme humidity.
✔ To prevent corrosion, avoid storing the camera in a laboratory or other location
where chemicals are used.
✔ Do not store the camera in a drawer or other non-ventilated place.
✔ Remove the batteries if you do not expect to use the camera for several days. (A
minute amount of battery power is used even when the Power switch is set to Off
and the batteries will be affected after several days of storage.)
You should also store the original packaging in case you need to return the camera for
repair.
After lengthy storage, carefully check the camera’s operation. When you have not used the
camera for a long time, or before an important trip or shooting assignment, we recommend
that you have it thoroughly tested at an authorized service center.
