Camera Care
Cleaning the IR Lens, VLCM, Display Screen,
and Body
For optimal performance, your Camera should be treated with care and gently
cleaned as needed. You should always take great care whenever you touch the
lens or display screen. The lens elements are made from Germanium crystal
and easily can shatter or be scratched and chipped, and the liquid crystal
display (LCD) screen is sensitive to excess pressure. To protect your Camera,
replace the lens cap and store the camera in the case when you are not using
the camera.
WCaution
To avoid damaging your camera, use compressed air to
remove large particles and dust prior to using a cloth.
To clean the IR lens and the VLCM lenses and windows:
• Lightly rub the lens with a soft cotton cloth slightly moistened (not
dripping) with a non-abrasive solution marked for lens cleaning or a mild,
diluted dish soap solution (never use solvents).
To clean the display screen:
• Lightly rub the display screen with a clean computer monitor cleaning
cloth.
To clean the camera body:
• Lightly rub the camera body with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Dampen
the cloth in a solution of water and a small amount of mild soap if needed.
