Care and Storage
■ Care
● Fingerprints or dirt on the lens or AF viewfinder will reduce the image quality
so take extra care not to get it dirty.
● Do not wipe dust or smears off the lens or AF viewfinder with your fingers.
Use a lens blower, available at most photographic suppliers, to blow dust off,
or a soft cloth to wipe it lightly.
● Be particularly diligent in cleaning the lens after use at the beach or in the
vicinity of chemicals.
● If your camera should malfunction, take to your nearest Ricoh service office.
This product generates high voltage and disassembly is hazardous. Under
no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble it yourself.
● Never use solvents, benzine, insecticides or other volatile substances on the
equipment as this may deform or dissolve it.
● Be careful not to let objects rub against the LCD monitor or the LCD panel as
they are easily scratched.
● To clean the LCD monitor or the LCD panel, wipe it gently with a soft cloth
moistened with diluted detergent and well-wrung. Wipe off any moisture with
a soft, dry cloth.
* Remove the battery and AC adapter from the camera before commencing
any of the above.
■ Storage
To prevent possible failures, avoid storing the camera in places that are:
● Hot and damp, or subject to sharp temperature or humidity changes.
● Sandy or dusty.
● Subject to strong vibration.
● In contact with chemicals, such as insecticides, or rubber or PVC products
for extended periods of time.
● Near sources of strong electromagnetism (such as monitors, transformers,
and magnets).
