It is tempting to wipe a dusty lens immediately. Instead, follow the manufacturer’s conservative approach: a dry, soft cloth for the body and LCD, and a commercially available blower for dust on the lens. This is general Canon guidance, not an instruction to disassemble a camera; your model manual takes priority.

1. Turn the camera off and place it on a stable surface. This guide does not cover removing lenses or cleaning the internal sensor.
2. Gently wipe moisture or dust from the camera body with a dry, soft cloth or eyeglass wipe. Do not apply force.
3. Wipe the LCD gently with a similarly soft, dry cloth; never press hard on the display.
4. For visible dust on the lens, use a commercially available camera blower first. Avoid fingernails, fingers and rough cloths.
5. Do not use cleaning products containing organic solvents on the body or screen, and do not spray household cleaners onto the lens.
6. If stubborn dirt remains or dust appears inside, stop rather than scrubbing or disassembling anything. Check your model manual or contact Canon support.
