Sensor Cleaning Technical Tips
•
Sensor cleaning should only be attempted by experienced imaging professionals.
•
Use a small, but powerful flashlight to look at the sensor and filter, it's easier to spot
the dust.
•
Sensor cleaning must be done in a clean and controlled environment.
•
Always have a forced-air bulb style blower and a clean sensor cloth handy for more
serious dirt.
•
Sensor cleaning solution (like Eclipse) should only be used if absolutely necessary,
and applied with a soft wipe intended for sensor cleaning.
•
Cotton swabs aren't a good idea, unless they are wrapped in a sensor wipe material.
They leave behind more than they remove.
•
Never use your finger to get a speck of dust off, it's going to make things much
worse.
•
Never blow on the sensor.
•
Never put sharp objects near the surface of the sensor.
•
Always keep the Phantom body cap on the camera when there is no lens attached.
