CARE AND MAINTENANCE

PRECAUTIONS

LENS

Be careful that you do not directly

touch the lens surface with your

hands when cleaning it. Remove

dust or lint with a blower*. For

fingerprints or other stains that

cannot be removed with a blower,

wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or

cleaning cloth for eyeglasses, using a

spiral motion that starts at the center

of the lens and working towards the

edges. Wiping too firmly or wiping

with a hard material may damage

the lens. If this fails, gently wipe the

lens using a cloth lightly dampened

with commercial lens cleaner.

MAIN BODY

After gently removing dust with a

blower, clean the body surface with a

soft, clean cloth. After use at a

seaside, wipe off salt that may be on

the body surface with a damp, soft,

clean cloth, and then wipe with a dry

cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner,

or other cleaners containing organic

solvents.

STORAGE

Water condensation or mold may

occur on lens surfaces because of

high humidity. Therefore, store the

product in a cool, dry place. After use

on a rainy day or at night, thoroughly

dry it at room temperature, then

store in a cool, dry place.

* A rubber cleaning tool that blows

air from a nozzle.
