I just got my new camera about 1hr ago. I took like 200 random pics just playing with the settings and everything and the way I take photos my nose touches the screen, and I use some special lotion for my face because I have really bad dry skin. Well there were streaks on the screen, so I said no big deal I got this new cleaning kit, So I tried cleaning it with the cloth and spray that comes with the cleaning kit and it left steaks. So I grabbed an old camera cleaning cloth and some windex and there are still streaks!

My qustion is how do I get rid of them so I can go ahead and just slap on the screen protector and not deal with this any more?

You might have to use cheese clothe to absorb the oil from the lotion. Not trying to be funny. There is sucha clothe.

Does the Sony use a matte LCD screen? That's bad if so. My glossy Canon screen(s) get my face oils all the time and I just wipe it off with a sleeve or something.

If you can find an eyepiece extender, that helps reduce it, btw.

Thanks, Sorry I'm not educated enough in photography to know what a matte screen is:[

Is the screen shiny (glossy) or does it not reflect light very well (matte)?

ICK...Windex Steer clear (no pun intended) of amonia and buytl cleaners. Check at walmart in your area for a product named Sprayway class cleaner. It leaves no residue and evaporates quickly it is alcohol based and will zip right though oils, bodily meneral or petroleum. I trust it on my computer monitors and my camera lenses and displays. One more word on cleaning aids: microfiber

I have a Sony A700 and I clean my screen with an ordinary micro-fiber cloth - never had any problems with streaks.
