How to Safely Clean Your AKASO Camera Lens

Protect your lens and maintain optimal image quality with proper cleaning techniques

🔍 Why Regular Cleaning Matters

AKASO action cameras operate in demanding environments where lenses easily accumulate:

• Dust and sand particles
• Water spots and salt residue
• Fingerprints and smudges
  Regular cleaning ensures crisp image quality and prevents permanent damage.

🧼 Approved Cleaning Methods

✅ Method 1: Breath Fog Technique (Recommended)

1. Gentle Breath
   Lightly exhale onto lens surface to create temporary fog
2. Microfiber Wipe
   Immediately wipe in a spiral motion using a clean, dry microfiber cloth
   Tip: Store cloth in your camera case for emergencies

⚠️ Method 2: Damp Cloth (For Stubborn Dirt)

1. Dampen Edge
   Moisten <5% of microfiber cloth with distilled water
2. Circular Wiping
   Gently clean lens with damp section
3. Immediate Dry
   Use dry side to completely remove moisture
   Caution: Never pour water directly on lens!

🚫 Prohibited Cleaning Methods

Why chemicals are dangerous:

Liquid can penetrate microscopic gaps around lens edges through capillary action. Once inside, evaporation takes weeks/months, potentially causing:

• Internal fogging
• Optical element warping
• Permanent haze on internal coatings

• Use silicone lens cover during activities
• Activate lens protector in settings 

Cleaning Frequency

• After ocean/swimming: Immediate rinse in housing with fresh water
