Clean A Nikon D70s Camera

Protect your investment with regular cleaning.


From time to time, you need to clean any camera. If you travel with your camera or use it to take outdoor photos, dust can get into the camera, raindrops can spot the lens and dirt can mar the eyepiece or view screen. Even if you only use the camera indoors, fingerprints can smudge the view screen and blur the lens. Cleaning should be done routinely to keep your camera functioning well. Following these few easy steps will ensure that you keep getting the clearest pictures possible.


Instructions


1. Clean the body of the camera. Use a blower to remove dust and any foreign material that may be on the camera.


2. Be sure to use distilled water for cleaning.


Take one of the cloths and dampen it with distilled water. Carefully wipe down the outside of the camera with this cloth. Be sure not to overdampen the cloth. Once you have wiped the camera clean, gently and thoroughly dry the camera with the second cloth.








3. Clean your lens, mirror and viewfinder. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical. This ensures that any liquid discharged from the can does not accidentally spray the mirror of the camera.


4. Remove any fingerprints from the lens, mirror and viewfinder. Apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a dry, soft cloth and wipe gently.








5. Clean the camera's monitor. Remove dust or lint on the monitor with a blower. Gently remove any foreign material on the monitor by rubbing the surface lightly with a dry, soft cloth.
