Camera cleaning instructions
Please carefully remove the filter/protection glass and clean it on both
sides using the techniques explained below.
3.
If the impurity is neither on the lens nor the IR cut filter/protection glass,
it is probably on the sensor.
Cleaning Instructions
Perform all cleaning operations (lenses, filter/protection glass, and sensor) in
a
dust-free clean-room
. The optical components are very fragile so it is import-
ant to avoid touching them with your fingers or any hard material.
1.
Unplug the camera from any power supply before cleaning.
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.
Note
•
Taking out the filter requires special care.
•
Ask your dealer to help you if you are not
confident with the procedure.
