cleaning finger print/s off camera screen?

LCD screen on back of digicam? Best way is to take a piece of ordinary
Scotch tape, stick it on screen, and pull it right off. Scotch Post-It
notes also work great for this.

A dry microfiber lens cloth works for me. Do NOT use it for lenses
afterwards...personal bias. It may be perfectly OK, but I'd rather not
experiment.

NO! Too much electronics back there!! Why even think of messing
around and taking such risks with the electronics when a cheap Post-It
note will do it instantly and safely?

I clean mine like I would clean an LCD monitor on a laptop. I use 70%
alcohol to dampen a lens tissue or a polyester "cotton" ball (not a
real cotton one - too abrasive), and gently clean, followed by another
dry lens tissue. Works fine; no scratches or hazing, no problems with
electrical shorts, etc. Of course, I do this with the camera off..... I
also do it as few times as possible, in case there is a little damage
that I can't see but is accumulating - so no more than a few times a
year.

And thren put a cover over the screen to protect it from fingerprints, scratches, or
worse. You can get one from www.daproducts.com. (I am not in any way associated with
that site; I have bought from them, and like their product.)

Maybe, but the Binford 3200 is much better.
