The camera lens is the heart of your camera. Never touch it directly with your fingers and avoid using any cloth to wipe it clean. The camera lens should be cleaned using a slightly damped cotton cloth or a special micro-fiber cloth. Similarly for cleaning the camera's LCD panel one can use these materials. But it's always recommended to use a camera-cleaning kit rather than trying your hands on it.
   


3.) Battery
