How do you keep your end clean
Update : There definatly is some annoying dust / pollen in there, but it now seems to have migrated to the viewfinder instead of the sensor, and careful brushing and blowing isn't getting it out completely. I shall get a cleaning kit (one of the Artic Butterflys maybe) for the internals, and som...

Update : There definatly is some annoying dust / pollen in there, but it now seems to have migrated to the viewfinder instead of the sensor... That tends to confirm my reservations about blowers. Still, at least it's not doing any harm there.

How to clean Cam ?
Hi! I use a micro fibre cloth and sometimes I also put a bit of lens cleaning liquid on the cloth and then wipe and do a dry wipe last. I don't do this very often. Regards, Tobio

I simply use very diluted dishwasher and use that to make a cloth slightly damp when it feels greasy. The dishwasher is make to remove grease so that works perfectly. Most likely I will cause some heart attacks again by my cleaning methods :?

That actually makes more sense than my method. I hope I'm not ruining the camera body with the lens cleaning liquid. Don't know Tobio, I'm not even sure the dishwater hasn't have any negative effect. There is also the weatherseals you need to think about.

Cheaper than Dust-Aid, and Artic Butterfly?
Since my LBA has hit, I've been changing lenses all the time. So now my sensor getting dirtier and dirtier. So there seems to be a bunch of things out there. Seems like the Arctic Butterfly (WAAAAY to expensive!) is the most mentioned one. The next level down seems to be Dust-Aid, but 30 quid f...

Cheaper than Dust-Aid, and Artic Butterfly?
Have a read of (from the Other Forum) its quite interesting, as its something I'm quite concerned about atm due to swapping lenses a lot and having problems with bits of pollen on the sensor and VF. I'll just pinch one of the best quotes.... I don't do any of this. In fact with over 150,000 a...

Cheaper than Dust-Aid, and Artic Butterfly?
I looked a while back at this when I had the GX10. The cost of cleaning was a significant proportion of the value of the camera and there were no guarantees. IT could come back worse!!! with no come back! I decided to DIY. Read and re-read all available web stuff. Google the top 10 suspects. ...

Cheaper than Dust-Aid, and Artic Butterfly?
I wouldn't recommend compressed air though. Too powerful. If it propels airborne particles at a sensor I've also read the compressed air cans (like air duster) may get oil contaminates from the compressor and you can end up puffing a fine film of oil over your stuff.

Cheaper than Dust-Aid, and Artic Butterfly?
I have thought about making some sort of tool which you could attach to a vacuum cleaner - some sort of small nozzle which you would position near to (but obviously not touching) the sensor. Soft art brushes sound a reasonable idea. At the moment I just use a rocket blower which clears 90% of the...

Cheaper than Dust-Aid, and Artic Butterfly?
Dust is weird. Some days my sensor seems covered by tiny specks which have to be cloned out of skies, but then a day later, the sensor cleaner seems to have done its job and the specks have become dislodged. I leave the cleaning device switched on at all times and vigorously use the blower on my ...

Sensor dirt, DA 12-24, and Kx
This came up a . I thought it was just sloppy lens-changing technique and my incompotence. But I've just returned from a week walking in Herefordshire/Mid-Wales, and almost EVERY SINGLE photograph I took with the DA 12-24 had sensor dirt on it. I cleaned the sensor every morning and evening with...

Surely it must be dust within the lens rather than on the sensor?

Sensor dirt, DA 12-24, and Kx
well there was definatly "stuff" on the sensor that I removed each time (could just about see with naked eye) - and test shots with different lenses had dirt until cleaned. I don't know if the zoom action of the (12-24) lens was blowing it back onto the sensor each day though. The higher the F...
