Care and Storage
■ Care
● Fingerprints or dirt on the lens will reduce performance so take extra care not to get
it dirty.
● Do not wipe dust or smears off the lens with your fingers. Use a lens blower,
readily available at most photographic suppliers, to blow dust off, or a very soft cloth
to wipe it lightly.
● Be particularly diligent in cleaning the lens after use at the beach or around
chemicals.
● If your camera should malfunction, contact the Ricoh service center. This product
generates high voltages and disassembly is hazardous. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to disassemble it yourself.
● Never use solvents, benzine, insecticides or other volatile substances on the
equipment as this may deform or dissolve it.
● Be careful not to let objects rub against the LCD monitor or the LCD panel as it is
readily susceptible to scratching.
● To clean the LCD monitor or the LCD panel, wipe it gently with a soft cloth that has
been moistened in diluted detergent and well-wrung. Wipe off any moisture with a
soft, dry cloth.
Remove the batteries and AC adapter from the camera before commencing any of
the above.
■ Storage
To prevent possible failures, avoid storing the camera in places that are:
● Hot and damp, or subject to sharp temperature or humidity changes.
● Sandy or dusty.
● Subject to strong vibrations.
● In contact with chemicals, such as insecticides, or rubber or PVC products for
extended periods of time.
● Near sources of strong electromagnetism (such as motors, transformers, and
magnets).
