Care

• Note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, image quality may deteriorate.
• When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) 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 the nearest 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.
