Održavanje
Čišćenje sočiva
To maintain optical quality, keep the lens surfaces clean. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens brush to remove dust. For smudges or fingerprints, use a specialized lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the glass elements directly with your fingers.
