If the impurity is neither on the lens nor the IR cut filter or protection glass, it is probably on the sensor. NOTICE Removing the optical filter Do not attempt to remove the camera optical filter for Bonito PRO cameras. Contact support@alliedvision.com for assistance.
5. When you have finished cleaning, examine the surface in a strong light. Take an out-of-focus picture of a flat, illuminated surface to see if any dirt or dust remains. 6. If dust spots remain, repeat this procedure using new clean lens tissue. Bonito PRO Technical Manual V1.0.4...
Allied Vision distribution partner. Cleaning with compressed air Allied Vision does not recommend cleaning Bonito PRO cameras with compressed air. NOTICE • Compressed air at high pressure and/or shorter operating distances may push dust into the camera or lens and physically damage the camera, sensor, or optical components.
