• Places in which aggressive chemicals such as
pesticides, rubber or vinyl products are stored
on a long-term basis.
Note: Keep the DCC away from sand and dust
Like any other digital camera the DCC is also
particularly susceptible to sand and dust. Always
make sure that the camera is not exposed to sand in
sandy places, particularly on beaches or in deserts
where fine sand is blown about by wind.
If the camera is not used
for a prolonged period of time
If you plan not to use the camera for a prolonged
period of time, always remove the battery.
Cleaning your DCC
Use a small brush to carefully remove the dust from
the lens and the LCD surface. Wipe the surface
gently with a dry, soft, fluff-free cloth. Should there
be any spots on the optical system pour a drop of
liquid lens cleaning agent onto a piece of optical
cloth and wipe over the lens surface gently.
Never scratch any parts of the camera using hard
objects. Do not use volatile substances such as
solvents, benzole or insecticides as these could
react with the camera housing and lead to
deformation or destroy the coating.
Travelling overseas
Do not pack your camera with your standard
luggage. The baggage handling at airports can
cause damage inside the camera, even when no
external damage is visible.
