Maintenance
Cleaning the Camera
- Camera Body: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a cloth lightly dampened with water. Avoid using organic solvents.
- Lens and Sensor: Use a blower brush to remove dust. For smudges, use a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth specifically designed for optics. Never touch the sensor directly.
Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Remove the battery before storage.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Charge the battery fully before use and discharge it periodically if not used for a long time.
