Removing dirt on the image sensor
The image sensor is very precise and delicate, so be sure to observe the
following when you do have to clean it yourself.
•
Blow dust off the surface of the image sensor using a commercially available blower.
Do not blow the dust off with excessive power.
• Do not put the blower further inside than the lens mount.
The blower can scratch the image sensor if it touches.
• Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor.
• If you cannot remove the dirt or dust with the blower, consult the dealer or
Panasonic.
 Cleaning the Viewfinder
If the viewfinder becomes dirty, blow dirt off the surface of the viewfinder
using a commercially available blower, then lightly wipe with a soft dry
cloth.
•
The eye cup cannot be removed, so make sure it does not come loose when
cleaning the viewfinder.
• If the eye cup accidentally gets removed, consult the dealer or Panasonic.
 Monitor/Viewfinder
• Do not push hard on the monitor.
This may cause irregular coloration or malfunction.
• Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the monitor/viewfinder
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots, or spots that light
constantly (red, blue, or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction.
Though the monitor/viewfinder screen parts are produced with highly controlled
precision technology, some pixels may be inactive or always lit.
The spots will not be recorded on images on a card.
