Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
Lasers and Other Bright Light Sources
Do not direct lasers or other extremely bright light sources toward the lens,
as this could damage the camera’s image sensor.
Cleaning
When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust and
lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the
beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in
fresh water and then dry the camera thoroughly. In rare instances, static
electricity may cause the LCD displays to light up or go dark; this does not
indicate a malfunction. The display will soon return to normal.
Cleaning the Lens and Viewfinder
These glass elements are easily damaged: remove dust and lint with a
blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the
discharge of liquid that could damage glass elements. To remove
fingerprints and other stains from the lens, apply a small amount of lens
cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.
Do Not Touch the Image Sensor
Under no circumstances should you exert
pressure on the image sensor, poke it with
cleaning tools, or subject it to powerful air
currents from a blower. These actions could
scratch or otherwise damage the sensor.
