ing the lens cap over when the camera is
not in use. If the lens is not installed, pro-
tect the surface of the prism by placing
the body cap into the lens mount hole.
≥ Use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue
designed for coated lenses, to clean the
surface of the lens or prism in the event
that it should become dirty.
≥ Use a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is
dirty. In case the dirt is hard to remove,
use mild detergent and wipe gently.

the temperature is within 32°F – +104°F
(0°C – +40°C), and the relative humidity
is within 30% – 90% (no condensation).
≥ Always turn the power off when the cam-
era is not going to be used. Operate the
camera only when there is adequate ven-
tilation.
