How to clean the lens of a digital camera [Figure]

Many friends who buy digital video cameras generally don't think of installing protective filters. Usually when shooting, the lens is exposed. If you are not careful, it is easy to get a little dust, press a handprint or leave some spit. Although fingerprints, dust and water stains on the lens surface have little effect on imaging. As long as you don't let the strong sunlight shine directly on the lens and cause fog. But how can you tolerate the camera lens becoming a big face? What if it's not clean? Shit!

Nowadays, lenses are generally multilayer coated. If you are not careful, you will scratch the coating and scratch the lens. Irretrievable damage to the lens. So, are you going to wipe it or not? My experience is that the lens is always getting worse, not better. Don't expect the lens to return to a new look just after it leaves the factory. Therefore, we suggest not to wipe the lens as a last resort.

You have to prepare some tools before cleaning. Conventional weapons include lens water, lens paper (or wet lens paper), lens cloth (or suede), blowing balloons and absorbent cotton. Ok, let's get started.

Blow off the dust with a balloon first, and carefully remove what can't be blown off with lens paper. Be careful not to use force. Take a little absorbent cotton, dip it in lens water to make it wet, and carefully stick off the dust and stains still on the lens. This process should not be forced, otherwise it will easily damage the lens. After ensuring that there are no visible dust particles on the surface, you can wipe it on a large area.

First, prepare a number of smaller cotton balls (or wet lens paper) and press them into cakes, the size of which is one third of the mirror surface. Prepare several large cotton balls and press them into cakes. The size should be two-thirds to three-quarters of the mirror. Try not to expose cotton fibers on the working face. Dip a small cotton ball into the lens water and do it well. Wipe the mirror spirally from the center, and don't look back. Then, when the lens water is still wet, gently wipe the mirror with a big cotton ball in the same way. If the first time you are not satisfied, you can do it again, but don't use the used cotton ball again.
