Quick Start Guide

CLEANING
Routine changing of lenses and/or filters may cause the need for cleaning the filter and/or
image sensor. A symptom of this is may be small dark spots in your images when your iris
setting is high. In many cases just using a puffer to blow dust off the filter is
sufficient. Never use tissues for cleaning as they leave a lot of small debris behind and can
create tiny abrasions.
Remove the filter as outlined in the section above
Before cleaning use a puffer to blow loose debris from the filter and image
sensor
We recommend using a LensPen MiniPro followed by a puffer for optimal
results. Both can be found at photo stores online and in camera stores for just
a few dollars. Use small circular motions to clean lenses and filters, then
follow-up with a puffer.
You may also use lens fluid and a microfiber cleaning cloth. When cleaning
the sensor, never spray the fluid directly on the surface. Use a puffer to blow
off any loose material, then spray a clean micro fibre cloth, wrap it over the
end of a cotton swab and use small circular motions. Once the surface dries,
use your puffer again to remove any remaining dust.
To clean the filter simply drop it into a sprayed cloth and wipe until clear. If
using a LensPen MiniPro, make sure to use your puffer to blow off any loose
debris first.
Replace the filter as outlined in the section above.
Test the camera by shooting a light-colored surface such as a wall with a
high f-stop setting on your lens (f16). Repeat if needed.
