Cleaning the Lens

The steps below describe how to clean the lens.

1.Blow gently on the lens to remove loose dust and dirt.

2.Moisten the lens by breathing on it as you would breath on eyeglass lenses when cleaning them.

Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses.

3.Wipe the lens gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or lens-cleaning tissue.

Do not use chemically treated eyeglass lens tissues. The lens may be scratched if you wipe it too firmly or if it is dry.
