I. Preparing Specialized Cleaning Tools
1. Air Blower: Removes surface dust from the lens, preventing scratches from particles during wiping.
2. Professional Lens Cleaning Brush: Uses a soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away residual dust.
3. Lens Paper or Microfiber Cloth: For final wiping only; do not use ordinary paper towels or clothing.
4. Lens Cleaning Solution (Test Lens Fluid): Use as needed; do not apply directly to the lens.
II. Step-by-Step Cleaning Procedure
1. Initial Dust Removal: Use the air blower to repeatedly blow across the lens surface to remove loose dust. If any residue remains, gently sweep it away with the lens cleaning brush.
2. Treating Stubborn Stains: If the lens has oil stains, mud spots, or other difficult-to-remove dirt:
Apply a small amount of test lens cleaning solution to lens paper or microfiber cloth;
Gently wipe in a spiral motion from the center of the lens outwards;
Never pour the liquid directly onto the lens to prevent it from seeping into the internal circuitry.
3. Edge and Lens Protector Cleaning
Carefully clean the lens edges with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol;
Avoid touching the front element of the lens to prevent scratches.
4. Complete Protection
Immediately replace the lens protector after cleaning to prevent secondary contamination.
III. Precautions and Risk Warnings
1. Do not touch the lens with your hands or hard objects to avoid leaving fingerprints or causing irreversible scratches.
2. Do not insert or remove memory cards or interfaces in hazardous environments to prevent sparks.
3. If stains cannot be removed or if fogging or coating peeling is found on the lens, it should be returned to the factory for repair. Do not disassemble it yourself.
4. Store in a dry box during daily use to prevent moisture from causing mold growth on the lens.
⚠️ Special Reminder: Never try to pick at stains on the lens elements with your hands! (Repeated three times for emphasis)
