Camera maintenance

Cleaning and storing the camera

 Cleaning the camera

Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.

Exterior:

JWipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild

soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then

dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth

soaked in clean water and well wrung.

Monitor and viewfinder:

JWipe gently with a soft cloth.

Lens, mirror and focusing screen:

JBlow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially

available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper.

 Storage

• When not using the camera for a prolonged period, remove the battery and

card. Store the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.

• Insert the battery periodically and test the camera's functions.

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device

This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting

on the image pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image

pickup device surface with ultrasonic vibrations. Dust reduction works when

the power switch is set to ON. Since dust reduction is activated every time the

camera's power is turned on, the camera should be held upright for the dust

reduction function to be effective. The SSWF indicator blinks while dust

reduction is working. g“Names of parts” (P. 174)

x Notes

• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically

treated cloth.

• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to

protect the camera from corrosion.

• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.

• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long

time. Before taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check

that the camera works properly.
