Caring
for
the
Camera
Cleaning
Lens
Monitor
Body
Avoid
touching
glass parts
with
your fingers. Remove dust or lint
with
a blower
(typically a small device
with
a rubber
bulb
attached
to
one
end that
is
pumped
to produce a stream
of
air
out
the
other
end). To remove fingerprints
or
other
stains that
cannot
be removed
with
a blower,
wipe
the
lens
with
a soft
cloth, using a spiral
motion
that
starts at the center
of
the lens and working
toward
the
edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly
dampened
with
commercial lens cleaner.
