My camera got a finger mark on the shutter blade. Could somebody introduce me how to clean it? Thanks.

The problem is not how to clear the mark but rather how to get to the shutter. Also, for a finger mark to be there implies that the shutter has already been tampered with - I assume not by you. Which camera? Which shutter type/name? Which lens?

Thank you Enzio. It is my nikon FM2n. Shutter is made by aluminum. So, do I have any way to erase the finger mark? Could you help me on that?

Then you mean that the finger mark is on the courtain? In that case, I would try to wipe it gently with a Q-tip and some lighter fluid. I stress GENTLY - don't push too much. However, why bother? A finger mark or any other stain on the courtain would not have any influence whatsover on the working of the camera or the quality of the photos it takes, and it would not even be visible. So, what's the problem?
