How a Camera Works

Camera care and maintenance

The camera is a sensitive tool that is exposed to a variety of environmental influences such as dust, moisture or dirt. These can not only damage the outside of the camera, but also penetrate its interior and cause damage there. To ensure that your camera works perfectly and has a long service life, it is important to look after and maintain it regularly.
