Step-by-Step Camera Sticker Application
Step 1: Clean Your Camera
Use rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth to remove any dust, oil, or fingerprints from your camera body. Let it dry completely before proceeding.
Step 2: Test Fit the Sticker
Before peeling off the backing, align each sticker piece with its matching camera section to get a feel for placement.
Step 3: Peel & Align
Start with a small section. Gently peel off the backing and align the edge with your camera surface. Take your time — accuracy matters.
Step 4: Apply & Smooth
Using your fingers or a plastic card, press the sticker onto the surface while smoothing out air bubbles from the center outward.
Step 5: Repeat for All Sections
Continue applying each sticker panel one by one. For lens decals, apply around the barrel in a steady motion.
Step 6: Final Check
Once done, run a soft cloth over the entire sticker surface to ensure full adhesion.
