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.
Note
•
Taking out the filter requires special care.
•
Ask your dealer to help you if you are not
confident with the procedure.
