If you ask a specialist for advice on cleaning the internal surfaces of parts, he will advise you not to do it. His arguments will boil down to the fact that only a master who is a professional in this matter can clean all the details with high quality. This is really so, you can also add that the camera contains many small parts that can be very easily damaged. As a rule, after the breakdown of small parts by your efforts, more than one service center will not accept your camera under warranty. Repairing such equipment involves purchasing expensive parts. But if you urgently need to clean the camera from external factors such as spilled coffee, tea or juice, then you should do it.
