Interesting thread although some of the anatomy has left me lost.
I'm currently reading David D. Busch's Dummies book and in it he recommneds cleaning sensors using a blower, cleaning swab and cleaning liquid. I was under the impression that sensors were so delicate that they shouldn't be touched just blown on using a hand blower to remove dust. I always seem to be having dust problems and haven't found the blower technique very effective so the use of cleaning swabs sounds very interesting. Using a vacuum also sounds useful. Any thoughts/recommnedations on the subject? If I ordered swabs, are there brands that are recommneded? My camera is a 20D. |

Dan I use a sensor brush. I don't like the thought of using the wet method. All I have to do is charge the brush and sweep the sensor. I will have to do a search on the net and find the website from whom I bought the kit from. I had a computer crash last week and have lost all my bookmarks.

Thanks, Christine. I'll watch for your post and meanwhile I'll do a search for a sensor brush.

Ive got an obvious dust spot on my senso that shows up on my photos in the same place on them all. Ive tried a blower and then a swab but it wont shift, does anyone have any more suggestions or should i send it back to Nikon.

Ollie,how old is your cam.With Canon,one is allowed 1 free clean within the 1st year and the company do an auto firmware update.One just pays the postage one way.I use H Leyhman (think that is spelt correctly!!) from Stoke.they are very good.one just includes a copy of ones invoice with date of purchase etc.
