use purified nitrogen from nitrogen bottles.
·
Only use lint-free wipes or cotton-free swabs for cleaning. Never touch the filter glasses with your bare
fingers because often, fingerprints cannot be removed completely afterwards.
·
We recommend to use pure alcohol for cleaning. 100% isopropyl alcohol evaporates without leaving any
residues. Only add small quantities of alcohol to the wipe. Never pour alcohol directly onto the camera.
NOTICE!
Never use cleaning agents containing acetone for cleaning the filter glasses!
Acetone may damage the filter glass coating and may deteriorate the optical quality of the
glasses.
