    Breathe on the lens, just enough to fog it, then take a cloth made for camera lenses, and gently wipe the smudge off. DO NOT use Kleenex, or eyeglass cloths, because they sometimes have chemicals imbedded.

    What caused the smudge? If it doesn’t come out with lens cleaning solution (like for eyeglasses), then try a little Windex. (Be sure not to get it in the camera). If that doesn’t work, then you may have to see if it’s not just a smudge but either a scratch on the lens, a defect in the optics, or an internal smudge that you can’t reach.

    Do NOT use Windex or any other corrosive cleaner on your lens. You will ruin the lens.

    You can get lens papers or a lint-free chamois cloth from your local camera shop or photo developer. You can also get a lens cleaning solution from an eyeglasses store and a lint-free chamois cloth and use that to wipe the smudge off. Do not get a lens cloth that has a chemical solution in it.
