Care and Storage

Care

Fingerprints or dirt on the lens will reduce performance so take extra care not to get
it dirty.

Do not wipe dust or smears off the lens with your fingers. Use a lens blower,
readily available at most photographic suppliers, to blow dust off, or a very soft cloth
to wipe it lightly.

Be particularly diligent in cleaning the lens after use at the beach or around
chemicals.

If your camera should malfunction, take it to the nearest Ricoh service office. This
product generates high voltages and disassembly is hazardous. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to disassemble it yourself.

Never use solvents, benzine, insecticides or other volatile substances on the

equipment as this may deform or dissolve it.

Be careful not to let objects rub against the LCD monitor or the LCD panel as it is
readily susceptible to scratching.

To clean the LCD monitor or the LCD panel, wipe it gently with a soft cloth that has
been moistened in diluted detergent and well-wrung. Wipe off any moisture with a
soft, dry cloth.
Remove the batteries and AC adapter from the camera before commencing any of

the above.

Storage

To prevent possible failures, avoid storing the camera in places that are:

Hot and damp, or subject to sharp temperature or humidity changes.

Sandy or dusty.

Subject to strong vibrations.

In contact with chemicals, such as insecticides, or rubber or PVC products for

extended periods of time.

Near sources of strong electromagnetism (such as motors, transformers, and

magnets).
