How to clean the lens?

[mischiefman05]

What is the best method to cleaning a lens on the DVX? Somehow some smudges, fingerprints, etc. ended up on my lens. Any kind of product I should be using? Anything I should definitely not be using? Can I go to just any camera store and get lens cleaning supplies? Would that work good enough?

Thanks for the help...

any kit should include the following, if it does you're set. if not, look for a different one.
lens cleaning cloth
cleaning solution spray
some sort of a blower to blow the dust off the lens
a small brush for getting the dust out of hard to reach areas on the lens, like right around the edge.
first, blow any dust particles off the lens. whatever the blower doesn't get, the brush should be able to either remove or move it to an area that the blower can get. then spray the cleaning solution onto the cloth and thoroughly rub any fingerprints off of the lens with the cloth. you shouldn't wipe a lens with a completely dry cloth, and never wipe a lens with dust on it. the dust particles can get ground into the glass and create tiny scratches, im sure you don't want any of that.
