54 Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
•
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.
•
The Lens Contacts
Keep the lens contacts clean. Avoid touching them with your fingers.
•
Store in a Well‑Ventilated Area
To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated
area. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls,
next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, or
where it will be exposed to extremely high temperatures, for example
near a heater or in an enclosed vehicle on a hot day. Failure to observe
these precautions could result in product malfunction.
•
Long‑Term Storage
To prevent damage caused for example by leaking battery fluid,
remove the battery if the product will not be used for an extended
period. Store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do
not, however, store the leather camera case in a plastic bag, as this may
cause the material to deteriorate. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and
should be replaced at regular intervals. To prevent mold or mildew, take
the camera out of storage at least once a month, insert the battery, and
release the shutter a few times.
