Camera Care
• Cleaning camera body
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the camera body and clean it with
a soft, clean cloth. After using the camera near seawater, wipe the camera body
with a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with pure water to remove salt, and then
dry it with a dry cloth.
NEVER use organic solvents like thinner
or
benzene. They
may damage the camera.
• Cleaning mirror and lens
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the mirror or lens.
To
remove
fingerprints
or
smudges from the lens' surface, use a soft, clean cotton cloth
or
lens
tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner.
• Do not subject the camera or lens to strong vibration or shock
Do
not drop the camera body and lens or hit them against a hard surface
as
this
may damage their precision mechanism.
• Do not touch the shutter curtains
The shutter
is
made of very thin curtains.
Do
not hold, poke,
or
blow strongly with a
blower brush. Doing so may scratch, deform or tear the shutter curtains.
• Avoid strong electric or magnetic fields
The camera may not function properly
in
strong electric or magnetic fields such
as
near a transmitter tower. Avoid using the camera
in
such locations.
• Store the camera
in
a cool, dry place
Store the camera
in
a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew.
Keep it away from naphthalene or camphor (moth repellent), electrical appliances
that generate magnetic fields or
an
excessively hot place such
as
inside a vehicle
during the summer or near a heater.
• Avoid extreme temperature change
An
extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the camera body.
When taking the camera to a very hot place from a very cold place or vice versa,
place it inside
an
airtight container such
as
a plastic bag and leave it inside a wh
il
e
to expose the camera gradually to the temperature change.
• Avoid water or moisture
Keep the camera away from water or moistur
e.
When using the camera near wate
r,
guard against splashes, especially salt water spray.
