Care
• Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will
suffer.
• When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your
fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft
cloth to gently dust it off.
• If the camera has gotten dirty or after use at the beach or around chemicals,
take the following steps: Make sure the battery/card cover and terminal
cover are securely closed. Then, clean the camera in tap water in a vessel
such as a bucket. Remove sand and salt from the camera. Finally, wipe
water off its surface using a soft cloth.
• If the rubber packing has gotten dirty, wipe dirt off its surface using a soft
cloth. If the dirt cannot be removed, request the dealer or the Ricoh Repair
Center to replace the packing.

your Ricoh Repair Center.
