Technical Notes : Camera Care, Options, and Resources Cleaning Lens/ Viewfinder A key to cleaning these glass parts is to not touch them with your fingers. Use a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other) to remove dust or lint. To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens or viewfinder with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with a cloth lightly damp- ened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.
