 Maintaining and cleaning your digital SLR camera on a regular basis is something that is very important, especially if we already have a camera long enough. This process may sound simple, but you have to be very careful. This article will help you by giving some tips and information on how to clean up the most important items on a camera ..

Lens Cleaning Tips

There are 3 important part that you should clean the lens. ie front, rear and filters (if you have it),
  1. Put the lens in a stable place, for example a table. Make sure you clean the spot is an area that is not dusty. 
  2. Use the special blower to clean the dust.  
  3. Squirt about 5-6 lens cleaning fluid on the front.  
  4. Use the special cloth (micro-fiber), slowly and gently wipe with a spiral motion and starting from the middle of the lens. Do it over and over several times.  
  5. Use the blower to clean the back.
  6. Repeat steps 2 to 6 to clean the filter.  
  7. For the rear, use a blower and brush / brush to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners on the back, because it may damage the lens.

Camera Sensor Cleaning Tips

To check if your camera sensor is dirty or not, you can run a simple test. Set the camera to aperture-priority mode and select the F-number maximum (smallest aperture). Then set it to manual focus, then point the camera at a bright light source (lamp / sun). Preview the photos to see black spots clear. The spots are dust on the camera sensor. To clean the camera sensor, here are the tips.
  1. Lock the mirror in the camera (can be seen in the manual for the mirror lock feature)  
  2. When cleaning the lens, put the camera in a stable place, for example a table. Make sure the place you clean the camera is dust-free area.  
  3. Remove the lens from the camera body.  
  4. First use a blower to remove dust particles.  
  5. Use sensor cleaner.  
  6. Wipe the sensor with a linear or spiral motion, starting at the middle, with the goal of getting rid of the dust from the middle of the sensor.  
  7. Replace the lens and check if the sensor is clean by doing the test as above.   
  8. If there are dust, do steps 1 through 6.

Things not to do when cleaning the camera and lens

  • Do not use the same brush for the lens and the sensor.
  • Do not use a lens cleaner to clean the sensor.
  • Do not use solvents other than 'Sensor-Cleaner'
  • Do not press hard when cleaning the sensor.
  • Do not use too much liquid lens cleaner.
  • Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean the sensor.
  
Those are some DSLR Camera and Lens cleaning tips. Do not do it if you are in doubt, because I am not responsible if there is damage to the camera when you clean it, because the sensor is the most expensive component, delicate, fragile and important on a DSLR camera.
