STORAGE

EN
• If you are not using the camera for a longer period of time, we
recommend that you:
a. remove the memory card (see p. 132), and
b. remove the battery (see p. 132), (after 2 months at the
latest the date and time that were entered will be lost).
• A lens works like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on
the front of the camera. The camera must always be protected
from strong sunlight. Use the lens cap and keep the camera in
the shade (or immediately put it away in the case) help to pre-
vent damage to the interior of the camera.
• You should preferably store the camera in a closed and padded
container so that nothing can damage it and it is protected from
dust.
• Store the camera in a dry, adequately ventilated place, where
neither high temperatures nor high humidity will occur. When
used in humid conditions, the camera should be completely free
of all moisture before being stored away.
• Photo cases that became wet during use should be emptied to
prevent damage to your equipment caused by moisture and any
leather-tanning residue released.
• To prevent fungal growth during use in hot, humid tropical cli-
mates, the camera equipment should be exposed to the sun and
air as much as possible. Storage in airtight containers or cases
is recommended only if a desiccant such as silica gel is placed
in the container.
• To prevent the formation of fungus, do not store the camera in a
leather case for extended periods of time.
• Note the serial numbers of your camera (engraved on the acces-
sory shoe) and lenses, as these are extremely important in case
of loss.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The camera does not respond when I turn it on�

– Does the battery have sufficient charge?
Use a charged battery.
– Has the bottom cover been correctly attached?
The camera turns itself off again as soon as I turn it on�
– Does the battery have sufficient charge to operate the camera?
Charge the battery or insert a charged battery.
– Is there any condensation?
This occurs if the camera is moved from a cold place to a hot
place. In this case, wait until the condensation has evaporated.
