JAKARTA Cell phone cameras are more opaque when compared to real cameras such as DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflect). This happens because the camera position is more easily touched by fingers, especially when shooting with landscape mode.

Oily or dirty fingers can affect the quality of the photo if they accidentally hold the camera. Then, can you wipe the lens of the phone's camera? Of course the camera model on the phone is different from the lens used by the original camera.

The act of wiping the original camera lens is prohibited because a t-shirt or cloth can cause scratches or push dirt on the glass. If dirt enters the interior, the photos will always be bad because of dirt that cannot be removed.

However, this will not happen to the lens of the phone's camera. If there is dirt that makes the camera pile up a little bit, you can clean the lens. In fact, the lens does have to be cleaned when it is dirty.

Cleaning the phone's camera is allowed because the camera that arises is actually not a lens. It's just a protective glass layer that is often coated with antigores so it's safe to clean.

You can use any soft object, such as a t-shirt, microfiber cloth, wet tissue, and others. Never clean the lens of the phone's camera with a rough and dirty object.

Once cleaned, you will get clearer, sharper photo results, and the autofocus will work better because it is not blocked. If you are afraid to cause scratches by often wiping your lens, you can buy special antigores.
