Even if you have recently purchased a new DSLR camera, you have probably already encountered the problem of the appearance of spots on the camera lens. For example, drops of salt water, pollen of plants and so on could appear on its surface. Therefore, it is extremely important for any novice photographer to know how to clean the optics of a camera.
Instructions
Step 1
There are a wide variety of lens cleaning supplies available in stores, but not all of them will really help you. It is recommended to use only those devices that have proven themselves on the market for a long time.
Step 2
First, pay attention to the photo blower - this is the best product for cleaning the lens from dust. The most effective and popular are the Rocket-Air and Q-ball models from Gioyyos. Such pearls have an additional valve that prevents new dust particles from getting onto the lens during cleaning. Never use conventional medical enemas, they contain talcum powder, which is extremely difficult to clean.
Step 3
There should be several types of brushes in your camera cleaning kit. After all, for each surface (for example, for optics and external panels of the camera), you must use a different brush. For lens cleaning, we recommend purchasing StaticWisk from Kinetronics. Do not forget that such products also need to be washed periodically, taking into account all the manufacturer's recommendations.
Step 4
It is advisable to have at least three microfiber cloths in your kit: one for the outer surfaces, the second for cleaning the mount, and the third for the lens. The first two are not too expensive, so it will be much easier for you to buy a new tissue than to wash an old one. It is recommended to use B + W wipes for cleaning the optics. Although they are reusable, they will still need to be washed periodically.
Step 5
Lint-free wipes are suitable for cleaning the lens using additional cleaning fluids. The best product is PEC * PAD, which can be found in any specialty store.
Step 6
It is advisable to buy liquid for cleaning the camera only from those manufacturers whom you trust. For example, many people use Lens Clens No. 4 solutions for plastic, and No. 1 for optics.
Step 7
LensPen will allow you to clean the lens of any prints. For effective cleaning, the instructions must be followed completely.
