riod, remove the battery and memory card.  Do 
not store or use the camera in locations that are:
•  exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
•  very humid or extremely dusty
•  exposed to direct sunlight or very high temper-atures, such as in a closed vehicle on a sunny 
day
• extremely cold
•  subject to strong vibration
•  exposed to strong magnetic fi elds, such as near  a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emit-
ter, motor, transformer, or magnet
• in contact with volatile chemicals such as pes- ticides
•  next to rubber or vinyl products 
■ Water and Sand
Exposure to water and sand can also damage the 
camera and its internal circuitry and mechanisms.  
When using the camera at the beach or seaside, 
avoid exposing the camera to water or sand.  Do 
not place the camera on a wet surface.

Technical Notes
 Cleaning the Image Sensor Cleaning the Image Sensor
Multiple photographs marred by spots or blotches in identical locations may indicate the presence 
of dust on the camera image sensor.  Clean the sensor using the V SENSOR CLEANING option in 
the setup menu (
P 86); if the problem persists, you can clean the sensor manually as described below.  
Note that there will be a charge to repair or replace the image sensor if it is damaged during cleaning.
