How to clean and maintain SLR cameras

The camera is the closest tool and the most precious thing for photographers. Proper cleaning and maintenance can prolong the service life of the camera. However, novices will be a little unfamiliar with this part of the content knowledge. Don't underestimate the maintenance and cleanliness of the camera. Seemingly simple operation, in fact, there are a lot of "big" knowledge. How to clean and maintain SLR cameras? SLR movies are a must-see for friends. First, the cleaning of SLR cameras

1. Turn off the power of the machine, blow off the particles and dust on the surface with a blower, and blow and wash repeatedly.

2. Gently brush off the dust in the cracks on the surface of the machine with a cleaning brush.

3, with a professional mirror cleaning cloth, gently wipe around from the center.

4. If the lens is stained, you can use a professional cleaner to drop the second drop on the stain, and then gently wipe it with a cleaning cloth, which can be wiped several times until it is clean.

5. If you want to scrub the sensor, you can disassemble the lens, use a new cleaning stick, gently pull it aside at a 60 angle, and clean it several times in the same direction.

6. Gently wipe the screen with a soft and clean cloth to remove fingerprints on the screen.

You're finished. This camera is brand new.

Second, the maintenance of SLR cameras

1, lens cleaning. Daily maintenance can be gently wiped with a clean soft cloth. After use, put the clean cloth in a special plastic box to avoid sticking dust. You can buy cleaning paper in the camera shop without cleaning cloth. Camera lens is a very precise part, and its surface is coated with anti-reflection coating. Don't touch it directly, because it will stick with oil stains and fingerprints, which will do great harm to the coating and the quality of photos taken by digital cameras.

In addition, never use other chemicals to wipe the lens at will, and only use cleaning liquid when it is very necessary. Usually pay attention to cover the lens cover and use the camera bag to reduce the cleaning times. The cleaning solution will still be harmful to the lens and may bring some humidity and mildew.

2. LCD screen protection. Color LCD screen is an important feature of digital camera, which is not only expensive, but also easy to be damaged, so it needs special protection during use. First of all, we should pay attention to avoid scratching the color LCD screen with hard objects, and consider using protective stickers, which has a certain effect on protecting the color LCD screen. In addition, attention should be paid not to let the surface of the color LCD screen be squeezed by heavy objects, and special attention should be paid to avoid the damage of high temperature to the color LCD screen. If the surface of the color LCD screen is dirty, the cleaning method can refer to the method of cleaning the lens. After cleaning, dry it with a dry cotton cloth.

3. Avoid shooting in strong light. Digital camera adopts CCD or CMOS solid-state imaging device, which has the advantages of light weight, low power consumption and long life. Another feature is limited endurance to strong light and temperature measurement. In order to ensure the shooting quality and the imaging equipment will not be burned, politicians use digital cameras to shoot the sun or strong light directly. If it is unavoidable because of special needs, try to shorten the photo taking time. In addition, exposure of digital cameras to strong light or high heat for a long time will also lead to deformation of the fuselage. Therefore, when using or saving a digital camera, be careful not to expose it to strong light for a long time, and put it near heating or electric heating equipment.

4. Smoke and dust. If humidity is the number one enemy of a digital camera, then dust is its second enemy. Contaminants falling on the camera lens will pollute the lens, affect the shooting clarity and seriously affect the high-speed start and knob of the camera. Therefore, in a dusty environment, try not to use digital cameras. Even if it must be used, cover the lens immediately after taking pictures and put it in a dust-proof camera bag.

5, anti-drip. Most cameras are not waterproof. Once water flows into the fuselage, it is easy to cause short circuit and other problems, so we must pay special attention. It would be better if the camera bag has a certain degree of waterproof effect.

6, high temperature resistance. The most prone to problems should be those friends who drive out. Remember not to put the camera on the dashboard after getting out of the car, or you may find that some plastic parts have softened and burned your hands easily when you come back.

7. Stay away from strong magnetic and electric fields.

8. Vibration and shock.
