Cleaning the LCD screen? (S30)

kinopio · 27th of June 2002 (Thu)

I seemed to have gotten a... smudge on the screen. Is there special care that I should take in trying to clean it.. like some solution I should use? Just wiping it doesn't seem to work!

This is what the manual says on page 143:

"Use a lens blower brush to remove dust and dirt. If necessary, gently wipe the viewfinder and LCD monitor with a soft cloth or an eyeglass lens wiper to remove stubborn dirt. *Never rub or press forcefully on the LCD monitor. These actions may damage it or lead to other problems."

What I do, and it seems to work well, is to breathe lightly on the screen, then I wipe it with a clean soft handkerchief.

If your smudge doesn't come clean with a soft cloth, you made need ROR, residual oil remover. It is made for photographic lens so it should be fine for the LCD. It is available in many photo stores in the US and is meant to be used with lens tissue. I use it with micro cloth.
