Care
- Note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, image quality may deteriorate.
- When dust or dirt gets on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available commercially) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off.
- Wipe the lens particularly carefully after use at the beach or around chemicals.
- If the camera fails to work properly, consult your nearest dealer or service center.
- Never disassemble the camera by yourself, as this is dangerous.
- Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzine, or pesticides on the camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint to peel, etc.
- If the camera exterior becomes dirty, wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth such as a glasses wiping cloth, or wipe it using a thoroughly wrung-out wet cloth. Do not use solvents, as doing so may cause the external surface of the camera to corrode.
Use and Storage
- Avoid using or storing the camera in the following kinds of places, as this may damage the camera.
• Places with high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in humidity or temperature
• Places with large amounts of sand or dust
• Places with significant vibration
• Places where it will be in contact with chemicals such as insect repellent or products made from rubber, vinyl, etc. for a long period of time
• Places where strong magnetism is emitted (next to monitors, transformers, magnets, etc.) - Store the camera in a dust-free camera bag, etc. to prevent dust or dirt from getting on the camera. Also, avoid carrying the camera without a case (in your pocket, etc.) to help to keep free from dust or fiber particles.
