Keep the lens clean of all dirt, lint, and smudges
- Dust and debris can be removed by gently wiping the lens with a dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid dropping or hitting your device
- Don’t use outside of 5 – 35° Celcius temperature range. If you bring your device in from outside, allow it to come to temperature slowly to avoid condensation.
