9 Caring for the IR Filter Glass IMPORTANCE OF THE PROTECTIVE IR FILTER GLASS ..................................................74 CLEANING THE PROTECTIVE IR FILTER GLASS...........................................................
74 Importance of the Protective IR Filter Glass Importance of the Protective IR Filter Glass The Leaf Aptus II digital camera back has a protective IR filter glass over the sensor. The sensor is the most important and expensive part of your /HDI Aptus II. It is the component that converts the photographic image viewed by the camera into an electronic signal which can be processed by the Macintosh computer.
Caring for the IR Filter Glass 75 Cleaning the Protective IR Filter Glass 1. Remove any condensation that may be inside the ionized nitrogen sprayer nozzle. 2. Spray the protective IR filter glass with ionized nitrogen to remove large dust particles. 3. Fold a cleaning wipe to fit the width of the protective IR filter glass (see image sequence). Hold the wipe with tweezers. 1 2 3 4 Figure 64: Preparing a cleaning wipe for soaking 4.
76 Importance of the Protective IR Filter Glass Important! • Never use the dry cloth for cleaning. • Never clean the protective IR filter glass with the window or lens cleaner. The residues from these products may permanently cloud the glass plate. • Never spray compressed air directly on the digital camera back. • Do not reuse cleaning wipes. • Put the protective cover over the sensor plate whenever the digital camera back is not attached to the camera.
