Maintenance and Troubleshooting
A-2
◗ Make sure you replace the lens cap on the camera when
you are not using it. Remove the lens cap before turning
on the camera.
◗ Attach the neck strap (see Chapter 1) and use that to
carry the camera. Keep the camera in the included case,
or in a camera bag to protect it.
◗ Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can cause
moisture to form on the camera and options. Keep the
camera and options in a case or bag if you need to move
them from a cold environment to a warm one. Allow
time for the camera and options to adjust to temperature
changes before using them.
Cleaning the Camera and Battery Charger
◗ Unplug the battery charger before cleaning.
◗ Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the camera free of dust.
◗ Use a damp cloth for cleaning the battery charger.
◗ Keep the battery charger terminals clean by wiping them
with a dry cloth.
◗ Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Don’t use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
◗ To clean the lens, first blow off any loose dust or dirt.
Then breathe on the lens and wipe off all moisture with
a soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning tissue. To avoid
scratching the lens, don’t press too hard.
◗ If necessary, clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.
◗ If the LCD screen gets fingerprints or smudges on it, use
a soft, damp cloth to lightly wipe the screen.
Storing the Camera
◗ When you’re not using the camera, make sure the
camera is turned off and the lens is retracted.
◗ When the camera is not used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature
in a dry location. This prevents damage to the camera
from battery leaks or corrosion.
