Clean the surface with a cotton swab. Whenfinished, replace the eye cup (p. 16).• The viewfinder screen scratches easily. Take care when cleaning.Camera body and lens• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body or lens. Never usechemically treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.Video heads• When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture, the video headsmay be dirty. When the video heads are badly contaminated, the cameramay show a blank blue screen.• For the best picture possible, after using the camera for approximately20 hours, clean the video heads using Canon’s DVM-CL Digital VideoHead Cleaning Cassette. If the “noise” remains, repeat the cleaning (upto maximum of 5 times).• Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage.
