Digital camera lenses must be handled with care.
The sharpness and clarity of your digital photo requires a camera lens free from dust, dirt and grease. Digital camera lenses are made of glass, and as such are prone to scratches, smudges and oils. Improper cleaning of a lens can scratch the surface of the glass and ruin your camera. Invest in the proper lens-cleaning tools to keep your photos looking great, and clean your camera lens before each photographic session for best results.
Instructions
1. Remove the lens cap and examine the lens for dust or smudging. Blast air over the lens with a lens blower or canned air to remove particles and dirt.
2. Wipe the lens carefully with a microfiber cloth or lens tissues. A chemical-free microfiber cloth offers superior cleaning for digital lenses and will not scratch or smear the way other natural materials can.
3. Use a lens brush to remove imbedded dirt trapped in the crevices surrounding the glass lens.
4. Use a small amount of lens fluid on a microfiber cloth to remove persistent dirt on the lens. Apply a few small drops on the cloth; rub in circular motions over the lens until the dirt is removed.
5. Dry the digital camera lens completely before using a lens pen to remove any stubborn spots or smears. The treated chamois cloth pad on the pen effectively removes grease and oils from the glass surface when rubbed over the lens. Many come in handy dual-action kits with a brush on one side and the pen on the other.
6. Store your digital camera lens cleaning equipment in a soft bag or plastic baggie to keep it clean and ready-to-use. Tightly cap the lens fluid before storage.
