water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the 
battery and card. Allow all components to air-dry for at least 24 hours

■Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt. Wipe 
gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do 
not use cleaning solutions unless designed specifically for camera lenses. 
Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
■Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of 
Kodak products for more information.

Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.
