Use a professional dust removal tool to remove any dust on the camera optical filter. If dust gets on the filter, it should be removed using low pressure air. For stubborn oily dust, the surface can be gently wiped using a lint-free cotton swab dipped in ethanol. If it still cannot be cleaned, contact the after-sales personnel for assistance.
