CLEAN YOUR SENSOR

NOTE: Some mirrorless cameras have a cleaning mode, too, that you might need to turn on. Check our camera's manual.
You should clean your sensor on a regular basis because it's easier than photoshopping out every piece of dust. Here's how I do it (and I don't follow the instructions). Here's how to buy it:
Micro Four Thirds (Panasonic & Olympus): sdp.io/DDR12
APS-C (Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sony, Pentax): sdp.io/DDR16
Full-frame (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax): sdp.io/DDR24

Thanks Tony, appreciate the pragmatic approach!!

[@haroldmmm]

👍

[@iuriius]

Please do a video how to change a focusing screen! Please!

[@DougPardee]

iuriius: There's no standard way that focusing screens are installed. Occasionally it even varies between versions of the same camera. For example, my Canon AE-1 (original) film camera requires almost totally disassembling the camera to get the focusing screen out, while the AE-1 Program version made it fairly simple to remove. I suggest you Google for instructions for your particular camera model. (Please bear in mind that you'll be working next to the mirror, which has a _very_ delicate and easily damaged semi-reflective coating on it.)

[@blockyjones]

errrr mirrorless cameras still have shutters

[@TonyAndChelsea]

SPECIAL PRIZE FOR SEEING THIS FIRST: 5 minutes of black at the end of the video, directly from my soul.

I though you were gonna pop back in at 11:00 and yell "just kidding!!" :-)

[@dlees5895]

Thanks for adding the silent, non color meditation vid!! ;p

[@MrMoonpie001]

I saw it!!!! Cost more than your books??? That isn't right!!!!????

[@dperreno]

I just did this on my ancient Pentax K100D Super (6MP is more than enough for ebay!) and it worked like a charm! I was questioning the usefulness or even the wisdom of doing a dry wipe first like the instructions said to do -- I am glad that you said to just go for the wet wipe first. Because the sensor had never been cleaned before, I had to repeat with a second swab and was able to remove the remaining bit of dust/dirt. Even though I have torn apart and rebuilt engines, transmissions, computers, kitchen appliances and many things I never should have touched, I was a bit fearful of messing up my camera sensor. I needn't have worried, it was easy. Thanks again for the encouragement!

[@bigdemi]

Best way to locate the dust spots on your sensor is: high aperture (f11 works good), focus close, slow shutter speed (

[@IngweLand]

An easier way for the Lightroom - open Remove (spots) menu in the same place where cropping etc is located then click Visualize spots (and drag the slider if you need).

[@guyyowell8547]

Thanks so much Tony! I ordered the kit that you specified in your tutorial, followed your instructions, and it worked beautifully. Thanks very much!!

[@Stevelalala]

Thanks very much Tony - you saved me a bunch of money. I have a several-year-old Pentax that I have never cleaned the sensor and noticed 3 blobs of dust on my photos the other day. After cleaning the lenses thoroughly, I found out they were on the sensor. Thought I had to take it in to a photo shop and have the sensor cleaned for $100. But your video gave me the courage to try it myself with the recommended kit. Worked great and it was easier than I thought. Thanks again!

[@seacow2001]

What a mind reader. I was wondering what was the best way to clean my Sony A7ii and here comes Tony to save the day!

[@MrKikoboy]

The quick cycle on the dishwasher works fine for most Pentax bodies.....;-)

[@Leonardo-ms2nk]

This was definitely one of the hardest things I had to do to my sony , I was so nervous but I kept it together and got it done , nice and clean thanks Tony

[@grat2010]

Cleaned my sensor successfully yesterday. I used your link to buy the cleaning kit (easiest way to find those swabs online) and followed your instructions. Thanks for the video, had no idea how easy it was to do at home.

[@MeAMuse]

Glad to see you doing this video. I remember I used to be so scared to clean my sensor, but with mirrorless is became something I just had to do (just because it get's more exposure to dust). I can recommend using a blower first before using the swabs as a precaution - I skipped that step once - and it was actually a tiny piece of sand and I ended up with a tiny scratch on the sensor. Quite funny though - it does not actually affect the performance of the sensor and does not show up on photos (everything works flawlessly - I could send you a picture of the sensor and an example file if you are interested). It actually means that I am even more comfortable cleaning my sensor because I know it is not as delecate as I once thought it was. Still though.. use your blower first :)

[@FrederickDunn]

Thank YOU, I just bought the Nikon FX kit using the link. needed to clean my D5 and didn't have time to send it off for routine maintenance. Spots were showing up in my macro video work... thank you as always Tony!

[@Peppermint1]

You put the swap down on the table where is dust, then touched the swab with your fingers. This can get dirt/dust on the swab which may then transfer to the sensor. So good to open first the bottle, put it on the table, and then remove the swab from it's sealed bag - careful to tear at the end where you grab the swab. Better also not to touch the swab with the tip of the bottle. Just squeeze the bottle from a distance and let a few droplets fall on the swab. This way the swab doesn't touch on anything before placing it on the sensor so it stays 'sterile' of any specs, so to speak. Since I'm a little obsessive, better also not to talk over the sensor, tiny saliva droplets may as well jump on it. I've learned these techniques while in the surgery room, they use a special task order in order not to touch sterile surfaces. Great video and great explanations, thanks for sharing.

[@MrMiss-cp9bw]

Thanks for this comment. I cringed when he opened the swab, only to put it on the friggin' table, open the bottle and then *touch* the god damn swab 🙄 Oh well.. Tony's a pro... He *must* know what he's doing 😁

[@michaeltuffin8147]

You sound neurotic

[@survivalSC]

Obsessive lol. I would almost say you have serious OCD lol. But everyone has their own way and as long as job gets done that is all that matters. 😀

[@zachenglebert7941]

I'm new to photography and have really been appreciating your videos. Thanks!

[@BagelsBagelsBagels]

The second half touched me in a way I never thought possible, I'm not ashamed to say I even cried. Truly your greatest piece of work on this earth lies within the last 5 minutes of this video.

[@EskyFilms]

ohhh shut up..

[@oc6huki]

I followed Tony's advice and it worked perfectly. I'm going the clean the sensor more often now.

[@shifteleven]

I like that you had that can of dust remover waiting to trigger us in the comments.

[@MCWaffles2003-1]

then he touches the pad and drenches it... >.>

[@seansiquig]

K. Adam Christensen will that damage the sensor?

[@CortReithofer]

Just cleaned my Nikon D750 sensor for the first time. Took 4 swabs to get the dirt off but in the end its super clean thanks to this tutorial. Really appreciate the help!

[@NickBusigo]

Thanks Tony! I've been having nightmares about these small little dust specs in the top right of my frame for months now I'm glad I can finally take care of that.

[@geopapa80]

Great video Tony! I use them too... Best quality value for money swabs.. Just an advice as a proactive measure. ALWAYS have your camera sensor facing to the ground when you don't have a lens attached on it! I do it every time I change lenses (I attach the camera to a peak design clip if needed) and It has saved me a lot of cleaning since I started doing it:)

[@itstheBMAC]

Helpful as always, Tony! Thank you!

[@mangoldm]

I’ve cleaned with this kit many times, safe and effective. I do recommend trying a blower first though to save on supplies.

[@aussie8114]

Michael Mangold He failed to mention many things.

[@jettysplash]

I tried mu Lumix cleaning mode and then a "rocket blower" first but it did not get the dust off. I have no idea how it got there. Hopefully its just static electricity holding the dust on the sensor.

[@SachinSawe]

Perfect ! Short and Sweet and so very useful! Thank you Tony!

[@seamusandpat]

Used this kit and it works great using the technique show here. Thanks T+C for giving me the confidence to try it out. (PS - I did try it out on a very old camera before doing it on my modern kit.)

[@vsgo2004]

The content of video sharing is really great! It must also be said that the sensor cleaning sleeve is really excellent!!

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Thanks Tony! I needed this tip.

[@AmmarHabjouqa]

I love your clips. Sometimes I think about sharing my tricks online but then get discouraged reading the comments people make so I don't :-) It's amazing how some people just like to attack anything given half a chance. I believe if you have nothing nice to say then just be quiet. Thanks again and keep posting. Oh, I got one of those kits as a dust spot found its way to my sensor one day but chickened out when I saw the swabs. I tried a stronger blower as a last resort before using the swabs and was happy to see a clean sensor. One day, however, I am sure I will need to be brave enough to do what you just showed us what to do.

[@jayx8472]

Thankyou for the good content you guys upload. Much appriciated. And i hope last five minutes are cut eventually

[@Rationalific]

This is the best advice for cleaning, as far as I know. I use that same VSGO kit, and it works perfectly. Not only that, but it is the ONLY thing that has worked. Those blowers blow MORE dust on the sensor. But as for me, I use a wet swab and then a dry one. The reason is that I often put a bit extra liquid on the first one, and the second one insures that any left over wetness is absorbed and off the sensor.

[@mendi452]

This is like the 6th time since last July when I first discovered Northrup Photography that I've had and issue and Tony has uploaded a vid addressing my issue seemingly out of the blue. It's uncanny.

[@robertgrenader858]

WOW. Just did this with the kit and afterwards, I could see a tiny dark dot on the swab. Thank you Tony.

[@axetrac10]

The best tutorial on cleaning a full frame sensor. Thanks :)

[@marcusgarrison288]

As always - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thank You Tony! I went looking around at other videos for this topic. There are a lot of them. I then said to myself, "Wait! What does Tony and Chelsea do?" Talk about trust! LOL! Thanks again for your professionalism and amazing videos!

[@karlvonpackal1402]

I pump up the aperture to 22 and take a pic of the light blue sky (it really shows the dust prominently... learned this the hard way)

[@ian-nator2685]

client saw and asked if that was a bug smooshed against the camera... i feel u

[@BboyGraphicx]

Thank you for making this, really helpful, you're a life saver

[@chrisfeatherstone9691]

Thanks! Just received my VSGO kit. Literally took 30 seconds. I had some odd spots that weren’t dust but it removed them with the two swipes you recommended with one swab.

[@oskarlundvall]

My A7rIII has cleaning mode, which is recommended to enter before cleaning. It fixes the IBIS so sensor won't move. Ive not needed a wet clean yet, and I am super picky with clean sensor. Rocket blower has been fine til now. 👍 Back in the Nikon days, Rocket blower did nothing. Always had to do wet cleans. So Sony is saving me money there....

[@Camrographer]

A fellow photographer taught me the dry method using a lenspen (sensor type) and LED lighting kit which sits over it. It works perfectly for me, but I tend not to change my lenses in harsh conditions. It's usually a piece of lint that has a static charge. I'm glad I haven't had to use the wet method yet (knock on wood). It's actually harder to get stuff off the mirror.

[@ccbphoto]

Thanks so much for making this video and advice to bring a kit along while traveling. I’m in Japan and may never return. Mt. Fuji was clear and I had spots on my sensor. I cleaned and it’s ready to go.

[@aimpointcx4444]

Great video. Had crud on my sensor from changing lenses on a windy day, bought said cleaning kit, used displayed technique, and what do you know? Clean as a whistle sensor! Much thanks.

[@philheiden]

THANKS AGAIN. i use this video every year when i notice a dust spec and need to clean sensors!

[@vidualisefilms745]

Very timely as I needed to clean my MFT sensor. Thanks!

[@MestreMur]

I use the same sensor's cleaner... After 5 months I decided to clean my Sony A7RII... So easy! Perfect result with two sticks cleaners!

[@magicnj5]

Good timing on this video. I just recently noticed those spots the other day on my camera.

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

Used the swab on my camera last week. Easy to use. Sensor was completely clean. Saved me 60€ the camera shop was asking. Using the "sticky pen" also helps for those pesky hard sticking particles.

[@GrahamJonesJr]

Worked for me! Thank you Tony! Dust just wouldn't let go until I tried the wet swab... and I survived! [Sony A73]

[@khairidwannizam3020]

Graham Jones so the dust already gone after u follow like in the video? no problem after that?

[@coultasj1000]

Thanks Tony. This really helped me out and it was not as scary as i thought!

[@greysonwoods4367]

Thank you! I have been looking for a nice and clear video.

[@YourStoryStudios]

Thank you for this! Just ordered a full-frame kit!

[@angelangelov2354]

That's right, gotta wipe in both directions, like a man.

[@lancomedic]

Thanks for this. My Lumix advanced point and shoot is always getting dust on the sensor and that requires disassembly of the camera which is a pain due to all the ribbon cables and tiny screws. I would have to cut the swab down since my sensor is smaller than an MF3 sensor. I usually just use air but a wet swab is worth a try.

[@krisrudecki9477]

Your video helped me oh so much! Thank you 🙏

[@stuartschaffner9744]

This is a really nice no-nonsense approach. I personally use a sensor brush first. Often that’s all I need. If you do use a brush, use the rocket blower on the brush, not the sensor. That cleans the brush and imparts a static charge on the bristles that supposedly helps dust to stick to the brush. Aiming a rocket blower at the sensor can throw crud at it at high speed. Too bad Tony can’t sell some of his cool demeanor. Being relaxed and efficient really helps.

[@onegreenev]

Won't leave without it. I have been using that since I purchased my A7r. Good stuff and super easy to use. Once I got the A7rII I had to get wider swabs. A little goes a long ways. My fluid container has a better top. I don't just use the swab just once but I always put it back into the package and close it up. Never had an issue with using one more than once. Also give the remaining fluid a chance to evaporate before using the camera. Don't use too much fluid but be sure it covers the entire cleaning edge. I never use dry swabs. Ever.

[@ashur86]

Hello Tony. Love your videos. I just wanted to add that if you put the a7riii in cleaning mode, it will lock the stabilizer so it doesn't get damaged when doing manual cleaning.

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

Thank you Tony for this video. Do you still use the Camera sensor magnifying loupe like you demonstrated in an older video on cleaning the sensor? I have it my list to buy. Do you also recommend any particular lens cleaning cloths over others? Thanks Shane and Michelle

[@hakzolot]

Thanks for sharing, I never noticed the specs or bloobs you are talking about till I set my lens to like f22 playing around had no idea why they where there and I didn't notice them before at a lower Fstop.

[@aussie8114]

Hakz olot If you don't see them then they're not a problem.

[@CharlesLi1]

Thanks Tony! Easier to follow someone I trust rather than wading through all the info out there :).

[@dimitristsagdis7340]

Tnx for you useful advice and demonstrating the wet cleaner/ing method. I took several test shots of my sensor at f/36 (my max) in both my bodies using different lenses. My Canon 7DMII (which I had for a couple of years doesn't have a single spot) which made me proud but I do not use it very often and usually stays with one lens attached (the 100-400 II or the 70-200 II) most of the time. My 6D which I had for 4 years and in which I change lenses all the time only had a couple of tiny spots which I'm also very happy about (I thought it would be far worst) and under normal shooting I never noticed them. When I visually inspect my 6D sensor, even with a magnifying glass and a headlamp I cannot identify these two tiny spots on my sensor. My first question therefore: a) when I look at the photo with the spots at the LCD back of my camera the spots appear to be on the left hand side towards the edge and half way through in terms of height. When I visually inspect my sensor at the front should I expect to find these spots at the same coordinates or is the sensor their reverse or upside down or something along these lines. So for example what I see in the picture at the back as left when I look at the sensor at the front is it right or left? Ditto for up and down. By the way both my bodies have auto sensor clean, which is done every time the camera switches on and off, I also used a rocket blower and a few of these auto sensor cleans in the hope to dislocate these two tiny spots from my 6D; to no avail. My second question, thus: b) shouldn’t one clean the sensor box, mirror, etc. first in some way (blow, silica brush, gel, wipe) before attempting to wet clean the sensor because dust/dirt may transfer from the sensor box to the sensor; esp. since the mirror needs to go up for the sensor cleaning. If so, any advice for cleaning the sensor box area (I appreciate there isn’t much of a sensor box in mirrorless bodies) but a lot of us still have mirror ones ☺ Carry on the good work.

[@Tzadeck]

My first camera was an Olympus, and their service here in Japan has been amazing--you can just go down to their service center and have your censor cleaned for free. Usually they'll have it finished in an hour. I used to work near the Osaka Center so I'd just give it to them when going out for my lunch break, and pick it up on my way back.

[@macdawesome1110]

"I can see that the whole edge is moist" -Tony Northrup 2018 Ohhhh so many innuendos in this vid haha

[@zachonias]

This is actually the kit I bought most recently haha, guess my search for the best rating worked. Thanks for the tips on specific use, it's definitely a bit scary when you're not sure. I've had issues getting the last couple spots off my sensor, I might pull out the swabs today and have another go.

[@actionphotopassion5082]

Very nice technique tip. Question is it the very same process if there is AA filter and no AA filter? 🤔

[@dennisjanwolterding384]

Thank you, once again, Tony for making an informative, entertaining video. I've become a fan, but my favorite will always be when you stabbed your lenses with a crab claw.

[@raducruceana]

Thank you! Great tutorial, I've just used now with succes. For camera with IBIS (my case A7 III) you should use cleaning mode which lock sensor in place and after that power off.

[@Groesch7777]

Excellent!! Thank you Dr.!!!

[@vinceunderwood6770]

I use this kit as well and I concur it is best to do it the same way as Tony shows. When I dry swapped my sensor (yes, I know it is not the actual sensor), it made a horrible streaking sound and scared the mess out of me. It took a couple wet swabs to learn the right amount. I would use them without hesitation. But I do recommend using a bulb blower first-- a lot cheaper if your dust isn't stuck.

[@wojtekw6040]

Works like magic. Thank You!

[@raamangupta3277]

Good lesson Tony. Thanks

[@TheRoadrunner11]

In case someone followed these instructions (or any other on KZbin cause they're all the same procedure), and saw that the sensor was full of streaking after cleaning, don't panic. I don't know why no one mentions this but it's very common. Just use a dry swab after the wet one and wipe the sensor a few times in multiple directions till it's spotless (took me 4 wipes in 3 directions). The cleaning fluid should not leave residue in theory but many of them do (according to my quick online research) for whatever reason. That is why cleaning kits state you should use a dry swab after the wet one. They just don't mention that most of the time, one swipe isn't enough to remove the streaking. Would have been nice to know this info before I cleaned my Sony sensor and almost had a heart attack after seeing the streaks xD

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Thanks. B Roll really helps seeing what you're doing.

[@dmlchannel3262]

A particle of dust is accurately referred to as a "mote" (of dust). Dr. Carl Sagan taught me that... and I thought I would "pass that along" to you. He was a "stickler" for accuracy in language. :o)

[@godisone1009]

Thanks brother for nice demonstration..!! 👍🏻😇

[@AdamInsights]

Is the dry swab after the wet swab recommendation from VSGO intended to remove any potential streaks after a wet clean?

[@rdelprin]

+Tony & Chelsea Northrup How do you clean the body mount and contacts? Is it okay to use a clean cue tip with 91% isopropyl ?

[@DelightfulVegans]

I agree with skipping the dry swab. Straight to liquid, just works and saves a lot of time. I was brave enough to clean my sensor in the first week of getting my initial camera since it came with dust on the sensor as a brand new camera haha. It all worked well for me though :)

[@AdamInsights]

Would the VSGO sensor fluid also work and be safe for cleaning lenses?

[@chippie025]

thanks for the vid.. finally a proper video abbout the cleaning

[@JimVeNard]

Tony, as a NEW A7R III should I put the camera into cleaning mode to stabilize the mirror before cleaning? In other words keep the mirror from moving due to OSS

[@michaelhinckley771]

Thank you sir, i just oredrd the DDR24 kit.

[@JuanMTech]

Thanks for the video, Tony

[@mikldude9376]

Good tips thank you .

[@esenel92]

In 4 years and around 26 000 shutter actuations I have never cleaned the sensor in any way other than the self cleaning it does when turning on and off.. So far that seems to have done quite a good job. Whenever theres something actually visible in the shots it's usually on the lens, and not the sensor. But it's comforting to know that it can be this easy if I ever need to clean it as I don't really look forward to it.

[@michaeltuffin8147]

Some people are just ocd

[@Bazzasphotolife]

Great video - Thank-you!

[@Glenn_v_e]

i was looking for this thanks !

[@alexvpaq]

Well, I did buy that kit but without the liquid very recently, tried it with good results so I guess I'm not doing too bad!

[@artmaltman]

Well it's time for me to learn to clean the sensors on my two Sony bodies. Thanks for the clear instructions! ps: please always highlight in your reviews which mirrorless cameras have the features that the shutter covers the sensor when changing lenses. QUESTION: I recall that the Canon mirrorless bodies cover sensor when changing lenses (just the full frame ones?) and I *think* one of the Sony's had a firmware update to do this but alas I forget (which one?). Thanks!

[@robertocordero4682]

Thanks, just cleaned my sensor!! I was too scared to do it myself you saved me $60.00 I can save for me next lens!!

[@KeithAllenJones]

That was a lot easier than I thought. Just place the order. Warm regards!

[@Noweks]

i have my old Sony a6000 cropp sensor kit and now i buy full frame a7, can i use same kit on that camera ??? is the liquid the same in both packages and the tiles are just bigger in the larger sensor size camera cleaning package

[@yousupreme]

You have a cleaning mode on the Sony as well that will lock the IBIS btw. Also give a try to the Arctic Fly, it works really for me.

[@natasha_haggard]

I use this method too on my Sony a7rii. Works a treat. Sometimes I have to use two swabs. I never reuse a swab and I don't do dry either.

[@kevincabral5787]

This cleaning fluid safe for the a7r III sensor? Thanks in advance :)

[@Gershy13]

will the aps-c one work for the a6300? its sensor size is 14.8mm, but the swab is 16?

[@Aivaras83]

Hi, I took glass before sensor, to shoot infrared. Would I damage sensor if I clean it? I'm talking about actual sensor not the glass/filter in front of it. I'm having some kind of white shodow when I'm zooming in and it disappears when I'm fully zoomed out. Did I du something with sensor or just lenses needs to clean as it is old canon sx50. Thanks

[@captandy34449]
