2. Apply a small amount of optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40% ether) to
a clean, new lens cleaning tissue.
Acceptable material includes medical-grade sterile optical cotton, or lens
tissue that is chemically pure and free from silicones and other additives.
– Do not use cosmetic cotton.
– Do not use consumer eyeglass cleaning cloths pre-treated with silicon.
The cotton or lens tissue should be moist, but not dripping. Please hold
the camera away from your body to avoid falling particles like flakes from
skin on the sensor. Hold the camera sensor diagonally upwards.
3. Wipe the glass surface with a
spiral motion from the center
to the rim. Normally, several
spiral wipes are recommended.
Wipe only on glass avoiding
contact to metal surfaces,
because microscopic dirt could
be released and could cause
scratches on the glass.
4. When you've finished cleaning,
examine the surface in a strong
light. Take an out-of-focus
picture of a flat, illuminated
surface to see if any dirt or dust
remains.
5. If dust spots remain, repeat
this procedure using new clean
lens tissue (as described
above).
