Technical Notes—Caring for Y
our Camera
185
The Monitor
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass
and to prevent liquid crystal from entering your eyes and mouth.
The Shutter Curtain
The shutter curtain is extremely thin and easily damaged. Under no circumstances
should you exert pressure on the curtain, poke it with cleaning tools, or subject it to
powerful air currents from a blower. These actions could scratch, deform, or tear the
curtain.
The Control Panel
Rarely, static electricity may cause the control panel to brighten or darken. This does
not indicate a malfunction; the display will shortly return to normal.
Cleaning
Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing fingerprints and
other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Do not apply pressure, as this could result in damage or malfunction.
Camera
body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off sand
or salt with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and dry thor-
oughly.
Lens,
mirror, and
viewfinder
These elements are made of glass and are easily damaged. Remove
dust and lint with a blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can
vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and
other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and
clean with care.
