2.Fold the tissue several times to match the width of the IR filter—you might use two or three tissues at a time if necessary (to give you a better grip). Be sure to fold the paper so that the coated glossy side faces outwards—do not use the other side, as it can do more harm than good!

3.Gently place the folded tissue onto the edge of the filter using two or three fingers. Be sure to wipe the entire surface evenly. Sweep the filter only once. Do not wipe the same area twice with the same tissue as you might reapply dirt removed in the first sweep.

4.Finally check if the IR filter has been properly cleaned either by visual inspection or by mounting the digital back to the camera and making a shot. If further cleaning is needed, repeat cleaning procedure.

Cleaning with an E-Wipe

E-wipes are individually packed wet tissues.

1.Tear at the notch to break seal.

2.Remove the e-wipe from its packaging and continue without delay.

3.Fold the tissue to match the width of the IR filter.

4.Apply firm pressure using two or three fingers at the edge of the wipe to ensure an even, firm contact with filter surface. Wipe the surface in one unbroken motion.

Note! Do not use same side of the e-wipe twice as you will be likely to reapply any particles removed in the first sweep.

5.Finally check if the IR filter has been properly cleaned either by visual inspection or by mounting the digital back to the camera and making a shot. If further cleaning is needed, repeat cleaning procedure.

Cleaning the housings

If the back becomes dirty do not use any other solvents. Clean it with a soft, clean cloth lightly moistened with water only. Do not allow water to enter any sockets or open- ings.
