How to Maintain Camera Lens
The lens is the most precise part of the whole camera. Only when the lens is maintained can the photos be clear and of high quality. How to maintain the camera lens? The following article will make a brief introduction.
The maintenance of the lens is important. The lens of a SLR camera can be disassembled. The first point to note is that the disassembly should be prepared. When disassembling and installing, the corresponding steps should be followed, and the lens can only be disassembled. We should pay attention to the environment during disassembly. It should not be in windy or dusty environment. During disassembly, you can observe whether there is dust at the rear of the photoreceptor and lens.
If using the lens in a windy and sandy environment, UI lenses should be equipped to protect the lens. We can replace UI mirrors on the lens. If the shooting has special requirements for light, you can take it off.
After using the lens, it is necessary to check whether there is dust at both ends of the lens. Clean it with a balloon before covering the lens. Daily lens maintenance does not mean wiping the lens every day. Dust and water stains on the lens surface do not have much influence on imaging. If the lens is a SLR lens, the effect of wiping with a lens pen will be better. It is necessary to wipe from the middle of the lens to the periphery in a spiral loop. One thing to note here is that lens pens are designed for optical lenses. The lens pen cannot be used on wet surfaces and cannot be dipped in water, or it may fade.
For cheap consumer digital cameras, it is useless to buy a professional drying oven to preserve them. You can use a better sealing lunch box to store it. You can find these in large supermarkets. The size of the lunch box is adjusted according to the size of the camera. If the climate is humid, buy a small bag of desiccant and put it in it.
For those who use high-end consumer digital cameras and entry-level digital SLR cameras, it is recommended to purchase ordinary plastic drying ovens. This kind of plastic drying oven is small in volume. It is good in sealing. Expensive drying ovens are equipped with humidity meters. As for the problem of drying, color-changing silica gel can be used. Its appearance is blue particles, and its color changes from blue to red after moisture absorption. Photographic equipment markets and chemical shops sell them. There is no problem in using a large box for half a year. It can be heated in a thin furnace to remove water. The effect is good!
The Global Camera Industry Association pointed out that mold will breed when the temperature is above 10 ℃ or the humidity is above 60% RH. For those who use high-end equipment, especially those who have high-end lenses, it is important to purchase more advanced electronic drying ovens. We can divide this kind of drying oven into low-temperature electronic moisture-proof box and normal-temperature electronic moisture-proof box. From the perspective of economy and practicability, the 40-litre volume is suitable for ordinary players.
