We clean the lens

Before cleaning the lenses of the lens, pay attention to the body. For the main surface it is better to use napkins, and in difficult areas (relief and notches) - use cotton swabs or matches.

Important! If the case is very dusty, you can clean it with a hard brush or brush.

Now we are taken for optics. You will have to act very carefully so as not to damage anything, because the slightest scratch can send the component to the scrap:

1. First you need to blow away all the small particles with a pear.
2. We remove the dust remains with the light movements of a hand with a brush.
3. For wet cleaning, apply a couple of drops of a liquid product to lint-free wipes and wipe the lenses themselves with cyclic movements, without much effort.
4. Stains after wet cleaning can be removed with paper.
5. At the finish line we use our cleaning marker. It is necessary to rotate its cap a couple of times in different directions, which will update the composition with which the rod is lubricated. We remove this cap and go through the lens. The remnants of the product will help to remove the brush and pear.

On this, cleaning the lens from dust can be completed and all components returned to their places.

Matrix

How to clean the camera lens at home - figured out. But in the photo there are small spots of an unknown nature? So - the cleaning is not finished and you can safely get to the matrix. There are several ways to deal with dust on the camera's matrix.

Option for the lazy

Good devices are equipped with a function that allows you to “remember” the position of the dust. Also, traces of dust can be eliminated in Photoshop, but people who own it at a weak level will be forced to contact a service center for the services of specialists.

Economy

First, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the instructions for the camera. Most manufacturers do not deprive their product of the option to clean the matrix, and the instructions will help you find it and run it. The matrix begins to vibrate, shaking off the dust into the body.

Professional

You can use special “mops”, special markers, or just blow off all the dust with the help of a good old rubber bulb and a soft brush.

For severe cases

There is another entertaining cleaning method for severe cases:

1. A dropper is taken, to the tip of which a brush is attached.
2. Connect the dropper outlet to the vacuum cleaner pipe.
3. Turn on household surf and gently collect dust.

Important! Be extremely careful if you choose this method for cleaning. Do not touch the brush and camera components with your hands, otherwise you risk leaving greasy marks on the matrix.

Do I need to contact specialists?

Definitely worth it in those cases if the camera is brought to such a state that a fungus has formed inside it. The longer such a neighbor lives in the expanse of lenses, the worse for the latter. If you find such a problem, without delay, bring the device to the nearest service center and transfer this matter to the hands of knowledgeable specialists.

Important! In this case, you can also clean yourself, but we strongly recommend that you refrain from such actions, since interference with the lens design may interfere with calibration.

Important! Properly selected batteries will help you shoot for a long time. Find out, which rechargeable batteries are best for the camera.
