MAINTENANCE
The sd Quattro H camera contains a dust protector located inside the
lens mount. The dust protector is a very delicate device and care must be
taken not to scratch its surface. Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from
the dust protector. Do not use a blower brush, as the bristles could
scratch the dust protector surface. To avoid damage, do not apply
pressure to the dust protector.
Do not use chemicals or other cleaning agents such as thinners or
benzene for cleaning the camera and lens. Use a clean, soft cloth and
blower to clean the camera and lens. Lens cleaners can be used for
removing fingerprints.
Do not lubricate the camera.
Use a blower to remove dust and dirt from the color LCD monitor. To
remove fingerprints or other stains from the LCD monitor, wipe the
surface gently with a soft, clean cloth. Do not apply excessive force, as
this could damage the LCD monitor.
HOW TO STORE THE CAMERA
If you intend to store the camera for a long time, remove the battery.
To avoid growth of fungus, store the camera and lens in a dry, cool and
ventilated place, with a drying agent such as silica gel. Keep your
equipment away from chemicals.
NOTE ON THE TFT COLOR LCD MONITOR
A few pixels may always be lit or may never light on the LCD monitor. This
is not a failure or malfunction. Images recorded with the camera will not
be affected.
Because of the normal physical characteristics of the liquid crystal, the
reaction of the display may become slow at low temperatures. At high
temperatures, the display may become dark, but it will return to normal at
room temperature.
