ABSTRACT

Keeping your camera equipment clean is better than cleaning it. Keep all equipment away from dust and dirt whenever possible. Store each item in a case, with the covers on lenses and viewfinders, and front and rear covers on camera bodies if stored without a lens or magazine attached. Take great care when dusting the mirror, the viewing screen, or the bottom of the meter prism finder. Never touch the titanium focal plane shutter of the 2000/2003 cameras. Never use canned air for cleaning.
