 Chapter 1: Exploring Your Canon EOS Rebel SL1/100D

The Care and Feeding of Your SL1/100D

You’ve invested a considerable amount of money in your SL1/100D (and 
accessories, likely). To maintain your investment and keep the camera in top 
operating condition, you need to take care of your purchase.

As I mention previously, you can clean your lenses with a lens-cleaning fluid 
and microfiber cloth. However, you should never use a solvent on your 
camera body. When you want to clean your camera body, wet a soft cloth, 
and then wring it almost dry. Gently rub the cloth over the camera body to 
remove any residue from skin oil or airborne pollutants.

Some areas of your camera have ridges that are traps for dirt and debris from 
your skin. You can clean these areas with a soft toothbrush. It is also recom-
mended that you clean your camera body with a soft, almost-dry cloth when-
ever you’re photographing near the ocean when there’s a salty mist in the 
air. Clean the camera LCD monitor with a microfiber cloth.
