Maintaining Lens and Mirror Surface
The lens and mirror surface are covered with antireflection coating, which could be
contaminated or damaged and result in lens scratches or haze image when being touched
with dust, grease, fingerprints and other similar substances.
Do not touch the image sensor directly (CCD or CMOS). Dust and dirt could be removed
with air blower, or you can wipe the lens gently with soft cloth that moistened with alcohol.

stubborn stains when moistened with mild detergent.
To avoid possible damage on device body coating which could cause performance
decrease, do not use volatile solvent such as alcohol, benzene, diluent and so on to clean
the device body, nor can strong, abrasive detergent be used.
