When
mounting
or
dismounting
a
camera
lens
or
dust
cap,
always
hold
the
camera
with
the
mount
opening
pointing
downwards.
This
minimizes
the
possibility
of
any
contaminants
falling
on
the
glass
surface.
Always
store
cameras
and
lenses
with
dust
caps
on.
Identifying
contaminations
If
small
visible
dust
or
contamination
particles
on
glass
surfaces
can
be
observed
from
the
outside,
this
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
these
particles
affect
the
functioning
and/or
application
of
the
camera.
Since
these
particles
are
out
of
focus,
they
are
not
likely
to
have
any
impact
on
the
image.
An
impact
on
the
image
may
only
be
given
if
any
particles
can
be
observed
in
the
video
preview
of
your
camera.
The
contaminations
you
observe
in
the
video
preview
may
be
situated
either
on
the
lens,
on
the
filter/protection
glass,
or
on
the
sensor.
Contaminations
may
develop
due
to
handling
or
unclean
environments,
even
if
your
camera
has
been
cleaned
prior
to
sealing
and
shipment.
As
shown
in
Figure 30
below,
contamination
(dust,
particles,
or
fluids)
on
the
sensor
or
on
optical
components
may
appear
as
a
dark
area,
patch,
or
spot
on
the
image
and
remain
fixed
in
the
preview
window
while
you
rotate
the
camera
over
the
target.
Also,
contaminations
that
are
situated
on
the
edge
of
the
lens
and/or
the
filter,
may
not
be
in
the
field
of
view,
and
therefore
won‘t
be
visible
in
the
image.
