Camera Care and Maintenance
To help ensure the highest quality images, proper care and main-
tenance of video equipment is necessary. The recommended handling
includes both appropriate cleaning and storage of equipment.
Cleaning a Dirty Lens
As with other pieces of video production equipment, the camera lens
is delicate and requires special care when cleaning. Commonly used glass-
cleaning solutions and materials are not appropriate for use on a camera lens.
