I will describe the cleaning method for lenses and filters.

Lenses and filters can accumulate dust, debris, dirt, fingerprints, and other particles.

When cleaning, please follow the steps below.

 

**Items Needed:**

 

– Commercial lens blower
– Commercial lens cleaning tissues, paper, or lens cleaning cotton swabs
(Items with low or no dust generation)
– Commercial lens cleaning solution or high-purity ethanol

There are products available that combine the above items into one set.

[Attention]

While a canned air duster can be used as a substitute for the blower, some canned air dusters may release fine water droplets. Please avoid using this type for lens and filter cleaning.

 

 

～Steps～

（1）Use the blower to blow away coarse debris from the surface of the lens or filter

[Attention]

If you wipe while dust is still adhered, it may scratch the lens surface or cause the coating to peel off. Please ensure thorough blowing to remove dust completely.

 

 

 

 

（2）Wrap lens cleaning paper around a lens cleaning stick or similar tool

[Attention]

While tweezers can be used as a substitute, if the paper tears and the metal directly touches the lens, it may scratch the lens surface or cause the coating to peel off. Please avoid using metal tweezers or those with sharp tips.

 

 

 

（3）Drip a few drops of cleaning solution onto the wrapped cleaning paper to moisten it.

 

(4) Wipe the surface of the lens

“There are two methods for wiping: radiating from the center to the periphery and spiraling from the center to the periphery. Choose according to the direction of dirt.

 

[Attention]

 

Please wipe gently. Wiping vigorously may cause the coating on the lens surface to peel off.”

 

 

 

 

 

（5）When there are water droplet residues, dry wipe.

[Attention]

Please wipe gently during this process. Wiping too hard may cause the coating on the lens surface to peel off.
