Caring for the Camera Cleaning Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints, Lens/ viewfinder oily substances, or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, carefully wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or eyewear cleaning cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges.

If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner. Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower.
