Keep Fungus Out Of A Camera Lens

Don't store lenses in poorly lit or damp places.


Camera lenses, like many things, can be sensitive to any kind of fungus. Whether it's on a lens's coating or even deeper inside, fungi can spread and severely impair the device. Perhaps the best way to aid the fungus problem is to take measures to keep it off your lenses. There are a few different things you can do to ensure that your lens is protected from fungi. Most of them require a consistent eye on your camera's welfare.


Instructions


1. Clean your lens on a regular basis with cleaner provided with your camera or purchased at a specialty store. Keep dust and grease off the lens.


2. Keep your lens out of poorly lit or damp areas to avoid fungi getting in. Try to either keep the camera out of a camera bag that may have open gaps or purchase a lens pouch to keep the area around it dry.


3. Avoid having the camera lens close to anything but dry goods and materials. Don't pack a meal and put it in your camera bag.
