Use a blower brush to remove dust and debris from the lens surface. For smudges or fingerprints, gently wipe the lens with a microfiber cloth using circular motions. If necessary, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly on the lens.

For low light photography, set the ISO to a higher value (e.g., ISO 1600 or above), use a wider aperture (e.g., f/2.0), and consider using a slower shutter speed. Enable noise reduction settings and, if possible, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
