Camera maintenance<br />
Cleaning and storing the camera<br />
Cleaning the camera<br />
Turn off the camera and remove the battery before cleaning the camera.<br />
Exterior:<br />
T Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild<br />
soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then<br />
dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth<br />
soaked in clean water and well wrung.<br />
Monitor and viewfinder:<br />
T Wipe gently with a soft cloth.<br />
Lens, mirror and focusing screen:<br />
T Blow dust off the lens, mirror and focusing screen with a commercially<br />
available blower. For the lens, wipe gently with a lens cleaning paper. Do not<br />
use a high-pressure bottled blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed onto the<br />
lens, mirror, or focusing screen by non-authorized service persons, the<br />
camera will be damaged.<br />
Storage<br />
• When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery and card.<br />
Store the camera in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated.<br />
• Replace the battery periodically and test camera functions.<br />
Cleaning and Checking the CCD<br />
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on<br />
the CCD and to remove any dust or dirt from the CCD surface with ultrasonic<br />
vibrations. Dust reduction works when the power switch is set to ON.<br />
Since dust reduction is activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the<br />
camera should be held upright for the dust reduction function to be effective. The<br />
SSWF indicator blinks while dust reduction is working.<br />
~ “Names of parts” (P. 198)<br />
Note<br />
● Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated<br />
cloth.<br />
● Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to<br />
protect the camera from corrosion.<br />
● Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.<br />
● Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long<br />
time. Before taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check<br />
that the camera works properly.<br />
