General Maintenance and Safety

• To keep from damaging your camera, do not open the memory card door, battery door, or skylight filter while in harsh environments such as rain, sea air, or windstorms. The seals in these areas prevent exposure to moisture and dirt which can damage your camera.
  
  
• Always follow basic safety precautions, refer to the "Important Safety Instructions" booklet packed with your camera.
  
  
• Clean the outside of the camera by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the camera or any of its parts.
  
  
• Do not allow any chemicals, such as suntan lotion to come into contact with the painted surface of the camera.
  
  
• Never disassemble or touch the inside of the camera. This could result in electrical shock.
  
  
• If you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the camera, immediately turn off the camera, wait a few minutes until the camera cools, and then remove the batteries. Contact your Technical Support Center.
  
  
• If you need to remove the lens filter cover, first clean the outside of the camera to prevent getting any dirt, moisture, or dust on the interior lens. Once the cover is removed, do not touch the interior lens. If necessary, clean the interior lens with the appropriate cleaning accessory, such as a KODAK lens pen accessory.

  

  When replacing the lens filter cover, be sure that the gaskets are clean and that the cover is tightly secured.

• Clean the lens filter cover and back LCD screen:

  Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not wipe the camera lens or LCD screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it may scratch the lens.

  1. Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt.
     
     
  2. Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it.
     
     
  3. Wipe the lens or LCD screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue.
