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.
