Avoiding the necessity of camera cleaning
When screwing/unscrewing the camera lens or dust cap, hold the camera with
the C-Mount / CS-Mount opening towards the floor as shown in figure 1. This
minimizes the possibility of any contaminants falling on the glass surface.
Always store cameras and lenses with dust-caps installed.
