INTRODUCTION
■ Caring for your camera
• Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the lens surface
can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid
touching the lens surface. To clean the lens surface, use a
blower to blow off dust or foreign matter and then wipe with a
soft, dry cloth.
• Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the flash can
interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid touching
the flash. If the flash becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft,
dry cloth.
• To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
■ Monitor Screen Images
• The images that normally appear on the monitor screen
during image playback are smaller than normal, and so you
cannot see all of the detail of the actual image. Your camera
has an image zoom feature (page 134) which you can use to
enlarge the monitor screen image. You can use this feature
for on-the-spot checks of important images.
■ Other Precautions
• The camera becomes slightly warm during use. This is normal
and does not indicate malfunction.
