Machinery maintenance and photographic lenses
Here's an interesting topic: how to clean the camera body and lenses in particular?
may seem trivial, but I've seen around most senseless gestures so it's best if I spend two words about it.
First off, the cleaning of the body . You do not need much, it is best to use cloth ones that are also used to clean glasses or at least a soft lint-free cloth or waste, I will spray on one of those products which are also used to clean PCs and plastics in general, are usually found in spray products are cheap and are made of silicone rubber parts that preserve and polish the plastic.
Eye screens, will scratch easily, worry immediately put on a protective film, such as those used for mobile phones, low cost and good performance.
careful not to use water unless your machine is not tropical, you may find yourself a nice paperweight in his hands, a bit expensive to be honest!
If the outside of the SLR more compact machines and there are big problems is very different to the discourse concerning the interior of the SLR , everything is very delicate so careful, no hurry and appropriate tools. ;
The number one enemy of the camera is dust, not only when you change the lens but with only one of, if not tropical, you'll always get a plunger effect when you go back and forth with the zoom that cause the ' Entry of dust in the camera body. Usually you need not worry unless the powder starts to spoil pictures are going to settle on the sensor or the mirror focus, where, however, would only bother leaving intact the picture.
To clean the inside of the camera you have to use compressed air, do not skimp on the price! Those that contain gases that are cheap, because of the cooling determined from the air coming out, can literally freeze the sensor or mirror irreparably damaged. So be careful, keep a straight cylinder of compressed air in the first place and made some brief sprinkles out of the body before and always short air jets to reduce the risk of being involved in accidents.
Cleaning the sensor is a simple but very sensitive, every car has a procedure in the menu that allows access to the sensor for cleaning. Once activated this process looking at the machine from the entrance optics (which you removed) you will see the sensor, you have to buy the spatulas to clean it the right size appropriate for your sensor and use them to get over the cleaning liquid that is sold together with them. NOT use another method, the sensor is fragile and breaks easily if you are not sure you can always contact the service center or a friend that will show you the most practical how and what to do.
lenses ... Rule number one: never breathe on it! Many do it to remove a mark but maybe our breath also contains saliva, which is corrosive, but will never break the glass door off the anti-glare coating that is on without your knowledge. Used clothes such as those for eyeglass lenses and only suitable liquids, are cheap but the lens will thank you forever for the attention he devotes to it. NOT ever use paper towels, they create micro scratches on the lens that you do not see with the naked eye but then, in particular lighting conditions, reflections are going to create bad picture.
Remember to always clean the machine if you go to the beach or surrounding areas, though it seems there always is deposited a layer of rock salt due to salt water in the area or even if there is sand on the beach and both things are very dangerous for your camera. The saltiness in fact affect the tires and the glass and the sand is likely to enter the camera body when changing lenses, a single grain of sand, if it ends in the shutter mechanism destroys it so be careful not to underestimate the danger.
All this talk does not make you paranoid, but aware and careful with how you handle your instrument that is so nice and heavy and solid but has a fragile soul, almost crystal and kept it a few times but for good, without improvisation.
