Caring for the Camera

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 thoroughly.
Important

: Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera

may cause damage not covered under warranty.

Lens, mirror,
and
viewfinder

These glass elements 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.

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.
