Care and Storage

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.

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.
