For camera owners of course mushrooms on the camera lens is the most inconvenient and may cost more to Eliminate it. Well on this occasion I will share some tips for us all to protect our favorite cameras from the name mushrooms.As we often see in glass-made elements, it will look like patches or dirt that resemble a fungus both small and large size and some even resemble a mist if the situation is already very severe. And this is what we do not like when it comes to our camera.
What is the impact of this fungus? Of course the image that we produce the quality will decrease as the image blur and when shooting the image we will experience difficult to focus. Most causes of fungus in this camera lens due to incorrect use and maintenance. A lens is like an eye of a camera, and this is one of the vital parts of the camera that we should really look at. In order for our camera to keep working optimally then we must really pay attention in terms of use and maintenance.
Tips on caring for our camera to not experience mushrooms :
1. KEEP HYGIENEWell this is a thing we often ignore, sometimes we just casually use our camera in any place that may place a lot of dust-dust flying. Moreover, this incident was wasted many times, of course this will make our camera more at risk of exposure to the fungus on the lens. We must really condition our environment before using the camera.2. DRY BOXThe second way is certainly rather spend a little extra cost, namely using a dry box. Dry box is a box that is specifically for storing optical devices such as lenses and camera body of course with the temperature is set according to the standards specified for the device to stay awake.3. CLEAN BODY ROUTINEFrom the tips of my friends, I cleaned the camera body with eucalyptus oil. Why use eucalyptus oil? Because the material dries faster because it has a little water content, But for more safety you can buy a liquid cleaning camera that has been available store your nearest camera. Do not forget to use a soft cloth so as not to damage the body of our camera. In addition to the water content of a little White Wood Oil can also remove the sticky dirt on plastic materials including rubber material on the ring zoom and focus ring that is contained in our camera lens.
4. CAPS LENSADo not forget to always close our camera lens with cover caps while our camera is not used (both when in storage and in the conditions of photographing activities).5. POST FILTERFor those of us who like photography that speed up like field documentation, soccer, etc. then it is advisable to use a lensed lens-tip filter from our camera. For the type of filter itself we can adjust to our needs. But most photographers use a neutral UV filter. In addition to providing certain effects, this filter can also protect our lens optics from dust and collisions of objects that we do not expect.6. CLEAN OPTICALLet us routinely clean our optical lens by using a soft cloth or a special cleanser for the lens. Do not clean the lens optics by using a tissue, because the tissue has a coarse texture and will tend to give a scratch on the optics of our lens. Should we wear T-shirts, sometimes if we are already in the field we are very lazy to pause and clean our lens optics properly. We just reflex to clean it with the shirt we are wearing. This will only worsen the quality of our lens if we treat it too often like this.
7. AVOID CONTACT DIRECTLYWell this is the most vulnerable to fungus seeds in our camera lens. Avoid contact / touch directly to the optical portion of the lens with your fingers or hands. This is very important because the parts of our body tend to be wet and moist, of course if we use to mneyntuh optics it will leave marks / stains. And if left too long then the stain will be the embryo of mushroom growth in the lens of our camera.8. AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURE REPLACEMENTTry if we often undergo photography activities that demand a change of place with different temperature significantly as we are in hot temperate land and we will do shooting in the mount so the temperature will change very quickly. It is recommended we use DRY BOX to bring our camera as this will prevent our camera from excessive moisture. Due to the humid air conditions will be able to easily cause the fungus on the optics of our camera lens.
