After use
Cleaning the camera
● Do not use a strong solvent such as benzine or alcohol, or chemically
treated cloth.
● Cleaning should be done only after the batteries have been removed or
other power supply units have been disconnected.
● Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
● Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are handled
since this may result in corrosion.
Storage
● When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery and
card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is ventilated well.
● Periodically, replace the battery, and test camera functions.
