Lens Maintenance
Lens Maintenance
- Keep It Clean: Always use a lens cap to protect the lens from dust and dirt. Clean the lens with a microfiber cloth and a lens blower. Avoid using rough materials that can scratch the lens.
- Store in a Dry Place: Keep the lens in a dry environment to prevent mold. Use silica gel packs in your camera bag to absorb moisture.
- Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes: Don’t move the lens between hot and cold places too quickly. If you’re bringing it inside from the cold, let it warm up slowly in a sealed bag to prevent condensation.
- Use a Protective Case: Store your lens in a padded bag or case to protect it from bumps and scratches.
- Check Regularly: If you’re not using the lens for a while, check it occasionally for dust or mold and clean it as needed.
