What do you do with your batteries when you aren't using your camera?
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.
- If you won't be using your camera for an extended time, remove the batteries.
- Avoid high temperature storage.
- Batteries can be stored at low temperatures (e.g. your refrigerator) to slow the discharge rate.
- Protect batteries from condensation by storing them in a zipped plastic bag.
- Allow batteries to reach room temperature before inserting them into your camera (cold temperatures impair their performance).
How do you clean the lens?
Those chemically treated eyeglass cleaners could scratch your camera lens. Use cleaners intended for photographic lenses, not alcohol or eyeglass solutions. First, blow away any loose dirt or dust with a bulb brush (not the same one used to clean the camera body) or a can of compressed air. Then, use a lens tissue intended for photographic equipment and either breath lightly onto your lens to form a mist, or moisten the tissue with a photographic lens cleaner. (Never wipe a dry lens.)
What do you do if your camera gets wet?
Turn off the camera and remove the batteries and memory card. Let the camera air dry for 24 hours.
What must you never use to clean your camera?
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on your camera
