Cleaning the Camera Body

  • To clean the product, see that the F-mount cap or the F-mount adapter is attached to it, and then wipe off stains on the Digital Sight 10 body using a soft cloth or others. If the product is very dirty, gently wipe stains using gauze moistened with a small amount of diluted neutral detergent.
  • Do not use organic solvent (such as alcohol, ether, and thinner) on coated parts, plastic parts, or printed parts. It causes discoloration or exfoliation of printed characters.
  • Use only an air blower to blow off dust in the mount or on the image pickup device, color filter, or IR filter.

Cleaning of the mount interior ― For dirt that is not removable with an air blower ―

Blow off dust in the mount using an air blower. Do not touch the components in the mount. Especially, never touch the image pickup device. If the image pickup device is touched, or dirt adhered to it cannot be removed with an air blower, perform the following procedure.
