Reference–Technical Notes
Caring for Your Camera
Cleaning
Lens/
Viewfinder
The key to cleaning these glass parts is to not touch them with your
fingers. Use a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached
to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other) to
remove dust or lint. To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not
be removed with a blower, wipe the lens or viewfinder with a soft cloth,
using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out
to the edges.
Monitor
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other
stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply
pressure.
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 any sand
or salt with a cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thor-
oughly.
Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery after
checking to make sure that the camera is off and the lens cover closed. Do not store
your camera in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or damp
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as tele-
visions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)
• are subject to humidities of over 60%
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals
