How to clean a digital camera

We may dirty the camera for various reasons. You can buy special electronic products such as Belkin Belgin cleaning paper towels to clean the digital camera body. The price of such products is often around 80% in 30 yuan ~50 yuan. In addition, it can also be used to wipe digital products such as MP3, MP4, PSP and mobile phone. However, although cleaning paper towels are very useful, they should never be used to wipe lenses or coat LCD screens.

Cleaning tool and cleaning method

Lens paper or fine tools equipped with fiber cloth, lens brush and cleaning tools. Never use cardboard, paper towels or napkins to clean the lens. These products all contain scratched wood pulp, which will seriously damage the fragile coating on the camera lens. When cleaning paper is not used, put the microfiber cleaning cloth into the original container to keep it clean. Microfiber cloth is very washable and can be washed with clothes regularly. Try not to use cotton T-shirts or other fibers, because coarse gravel may seep in.

If you use a brush to clean the dust and debris on the lens, do not touch the hair on the brush with your hands or fingers. The oil on your skin will infect your hair and then stick to the lens. Another way to clean the dust on the lens is to use the lens frequently. If your camera has a lens cover, you can fix it on the camera body with a belt, a rubber band or a "lens fixing" device.

Hot and cold weather can also affect the camera. If the camera was originally placed in an air-conditioned room and then immediately placed in a hot and humid environment, fog spots would appear on the lens and viewfinder. At this time, it is necessary to clean it with a suitable paper towel or cloth. If you bring the camera into the room from the cold and dry outdoor, you'd better put it in your bag to preheat it, and then take it out and put it in the house. And carefully hold the camera to see if it is "sweating". If you sweat, take immediate action.

A suggestion from a professional photographer is simple, and you may not believe it: take a plastic zipper lock bag with you. In very humid or dusty climate, you can dig a small hole just enough to put the camera lens on the side, and then put the camera in a bag to prevent fog, moisture and dust from entering the camera, which will prolong the service life of the camera.

Finally, don't put the camera in the back seat of a car with high humidity. The car is like a stove, which will deform the plastic and damage the wires.

Manufacturer's suggestion

If you don't use the camera for more than two weeks, it's best to take out the battery, because the battery will leak and rot, and sometimes it will affect the circuit connection, so that the camera can't work normally.

Whether it is a card camera or a digital camera, it is the same cleaning method. Landlord, if you want to use the camera for a long time, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the camera. Not only the LCD screen of the camera, but also the lens of the camera should be cleaned. If you don't use the camera for a long time, you must remove the battery, and then do a good job of discharging the battery. In this way, the service life of the battery will be longer and the service life of the camera will be longer.
