The camera lens is often dirty due to raindrops, dust and other factors. In this article, we'll show you how to safely but effectively clean your lens.

How can you clean the lens

In most cases (dust, fresh fingerprints) you can handle it yourself: just gently blow off the dust with a blower, brush the surface with a soft brush, use dry or wet wipes, and special pencils from well-known manufacturers.

The camera lens should only be cleaned when there are clear signs of contamination. Since this is an unusual glass, you need to be extremely careful not to damage the special coating. The integrity of this coating is critical.

Lens cleaning fluids are not recommended as they contain chemicals that can damage the coating. It is better to carefully remove the dust with a special brush or pear. Try to hold the lens with the glass you are cleaning facing down so that particles do not settle on it.

How not to wipe the lens

Therefore, acetone, alcohol and other liquids should not be used to clean the lens. Except those specially designed for cleaning optics. The coating is easy to scratch. Therefore, it is not necessary to scrub the stains with paper, wet wipes, needles and other items that are not intended for the care of optics.
