Technical Notes
Caring for Your Camera
Cleaning
Lens
One key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it 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 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.
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 thoroughly.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals
Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the bat-
tery after checking to make sure that the camera is off and the lens housed
inside the camera body. Do not store your camera in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or damp
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below –10 °C (14 °F)
• are subject to humidities of over 60%
