DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex cameras) have interchangeable lenses and other accessories, so cleaning this type of camera requires different techniques than point-and-shoot cameras. Follow these tips to clean and maintain your DSLR camera for optimal performance.
How to Clean Lenses and Cameras – A beginner's guide to caring for your photography equipment.
Cleaning the body of a DSLR camera is done in the same way as cleaning the body of a compact camera.
Use a soft, dry cloth, such as a microfiber cloth, to gently wipe the camera body of any dirt, dust, or fingerprints. For stubborn dirt, lightly moisten the cloth with distilled water.
When cleaning the lens, use a small blower and a soft brush to remove any dust or sand.
