If you're careful, you shouldn't need to clean your camera lens often. A little dust is unlikely to affect image quality, so don't become obsessive about it. Fingerprints, however, can damage the lens coating.
1. Start by using a sable artist's brush or a hand-squeeze dust blower to remove dust particles from the lens. Compressed air shouldn't be used for this purpose because it can damage the lens by suddenly lowering its temperature.
2. Put a small drop of lens-cleaning fluid on the end of a piece of cloth or lens-cleaning paper. Lightly wipe the lens with the cloth or paper in a circular motion.
3. Dry the lens with a fresh piece of cloth or lens-cleaning paper.
