How to Clean a Nikon D200

Proper maintenance and care of your Nikon D200 will keep the camera functioning correctly and may help to extend its life. Trips to the beach or other outdoor settings could cause sand and dirt to accumulate on the camera. This dirt should be removed as soon as possible to prevent any damage from occurring to the sensitive components of the camera. The Nikon D200 should always be cleaned gently to avoid breaking the monitor or the lens.

Compressed air
2 cloths
Distilled water
Lens cleaner

Spray the compressed air onto the camera to remove any sand, dust or lint visible on the body of the camera. Dampen a cloth with distilled water and use the cloth to wipe the body of the camera.
