I've just got my SD14 and will play around with a 18-250 lens. As I look at the camera without the lens, there is a piece of glass in front of the camera opening. What is this glass for? How can I clean the sensor? Should I remove it?

Thanks for your advice.

Ha

It is a UV/IR blocking filter.

Do not remove it unless:

a) you need to clean the sensor, or

b) you want to capture UV and IR radiation as well as visible light from the scene in front of you ...

Ted, what if a photographer wants to capture UV and IR radiation as well as visible light from the scene behind them?

Scotty.

Use a long exposure time and...

turn around fairly quickly
