There are two ways in making the lens visible on Cyber-shot cameras. Either turn the camera on and switch to shooting mode, or slide the lens cover open. -
With the lens cover open, blow dust off the lens and then wipe the lens softly.
-
Turn off the camera and make sure the lens cover is closed, and then wipe the entire camera with the cloth.
