How To Clean Your NIKON Z6 Sensor

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

In this video I show my cleaning process after every shoot. Hope this helps guys! - Will

[@PhotosbyFonzo]

Love having someone to watch that makes videos specifically for the Z6, i love mine and love the overall vibe you put out. I have my first wedding tomorrow and am very nervous but excited! Thank you man, happy belated thanksgiving, and keep up the fantastic work!

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Couldn’t appreciate the nice words more my friend! Congratulations on your first wedding, that’s huge! Make sure you hit me up tomorrow and let me know how it goes. I’ll answer any questions you have

[@erjennin]

What lenses you bringing? One body (Z6)? I just picked up a Z6 today. Never shot Nikon before but I picked it up and there was a connection.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Eric Jennings glad you see a new user out there, welcome Eric!

[@PhotosbyFonzo]

@@erjennin I am only taking one body, yes. I will eventually like to pick up a second one when i can save up the money. As for lenses, ill be bringing my Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art and 85mm 1.8, ill also be renting a 70-200mm from a local camera shop here in town.

[@MrTombomb87]

Hello, and thanks for sharing this info! I'm curious, I accidentally touched the sensor (nikon z6) with the smallest tip of my finger. I know, it should never have happened. Am I totally screwed, and what should I do? AHHHHHHHHH

[@rogerridpath1107]

Maybe the best cleaning video I've ever seen. And for a Nikon Z! Sorry, but I rarely clean my cameras well you do. But I do agree with your comments about cleaning the sensor. I actually try not to use the swab and cleaning solution unless I know for a fact that something is sticking to the sensor. 9 times out of 10 I can get the dust off with the air device and the camera tiled down while I flow the air. I use a bright LED flashlight to look for sensor for dust. I'm not aware that this can damage the sensor. Of course, I don't keep it shining at the same spot for an extended period of time.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Excellent tip roger! I agree it’s not always necessary to actually swab the sensor but if you have to it’s nice to know you’re not going to damage anything unless you’re being really reckless. Thanks for watching my man!

[@PatrickDaviesC]

I was freaking out when I discovered marks in my photos which I was confident was from a dirty sensor. Blowing out the sensor was all it took to correct. I love your exterior cleaning tips. I'm going to start treating my Z6 better!

[@polarbrothers3525]

Thanks for the video, I just clean my z6's sensor, was always scared of damaging it but was super easy.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Yep not a huge deal! Thanks for watching

[@sidneykincaid851]

Excellent video Will! This is incredibly helpful info! For years all of us have been told about the mysterious and secretive process of cleaning our DSLR sensors and how we would damage our cameras if we weren't factory trained and skilled technicians. God forbid if we mere mortals tried to attempt this highly sensitive work. If we did we might as well throw our cameras into the garbage because we would end up destroying all of the internal components of our cameras. It's great to see a knowledgeable person such as yourself who is willing to help an online community with technical photography info and at the same time you are not trying to sell us anything. That is why I am a channel subscriber and a Patreon supporter. Thank you again William for another excellent video brother!

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Can’t tell you how much o appreciate your support Sidney! I will continue to help in every way I can!

[@CarlosReyes-sb7sk]

Thank you. I got a used camera with a finger print on the sensor. I was afraid it was scratched. I followed your instructions and all is great now. Thank you again.

[@TheDude-vx6wn]

Great video. The only thing I would add is the importance of cleaning your front and rear lenses. I had a situation where I thought my sensor was dirty (judged by setting f22, low shutter speed, and pointing to the sky or light source) and turns out it was my lens that was causing the "spots".

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Truth! I’ve had that before as well

[@antonoat]

A clean camera is a happy camera, lol. It's funny some guys seem to take pride in abusing their gear "hey it's only a tool man" but I'm like you, I really look after my stuff and it's helped preserve my gear and ensure it always works as it should. Loving your channel here.

[@maryellenrosen]

You did a great job with this video. I feel I could follow this and know what to do which I now feel I need to go clean my Z6 this week.

[@pete_stewardson]

I've cleaned my own sensors since I had my first digital SLR. The only time I was ever really nervous about it was when I got my D3 and the day after needing to clean the sensor already, less than 24hours after it was delivered eek. The worst one though was the D750 because that used to get grease form somewhere on the sensor all the time, I had to clean that soooo often. Not cleaned the Z6 yet but need to get around to it. I've found a blower is doing the job mostly. I think not having the mirror means the dust doesn't get blown around as much.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Totally agree, dust seems to fall off super easy with the Z also. Great to hear from you Pete!

[@POSYPANO]

Hi TMM Please tell me the profile settings you will use when recording your movies. I mean picture profile settings (sharpening, clarity, contrast, brightness, sat and hue) The image from your Z6 looks amazing and I want to get similar results. Best regards and thank you

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Hi buddy, Thanks for watching! The only picture settings I apply is the basic monochrome picture profile in camera. I do not add anything else. The quality of this video is due to the lens (35 1.8S) and the lighting

[@POSYPANO]

@@TheMonochromeMemoirs it's amazing that you didn't edit the profile manually and it looks so pretty.

[@jasonthompson2059]

I wonder if using the blower as a vacuum for the sensor might work better, have you ever tried? Then you could blow away from the camera and get the dust out of the area instead of possibly just moving it around? Just a thought,. My z6 is in the mail, so excited! First full frame for me :). Your channel is godsend btw, thank you for your service

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Great to have you on the channel Jason! Once you get your Z any questions you have don’t hesitate to reach out

[@tomlew55]

I found that the thing that helps keep my sensors clean is paying close attention to how clean my lens is when I mount it. I treat my lenses the same way as I do the sensor, minimal exposure to the elements.

[@ddunnum]

Good stuff as always. I liked the bit about wiping down the mounting surface. I have never purposely done that step. It was a bit of a surprise to see the gunk.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

It’s crazy how dirty that gets! Easy spit for dirt to migrate in to the internals. Thanks for watching Daniel!

Thanks for this video. Do you have to change any configuration camera settings on the menu before doing the cleanning? I have a Nikon z6 II

[@Altitude2011]

Hi Will, great video. How do you clean the front element of your lenses? I tend not to clean the front element of my lenses, especially my wide-angle lenses, because I am afraid of damaging the front element. And actually, sometimes when the front element might be "at risk" (for example when I take pictures at the beach), I even use clear filters (the good ones from B&W) to protect the front element of my lenses.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Hey Pierre! I usually use a similar method, just use the blower for dust then use the soft brush to get off any remaining debris. If there are smudges I will use a clean microfiber cloth!

[@aszulak]

Hey Will, just a question - isn’t there a low-pass filter on top of the sensor? I mean, even if you touch it (which you never should) - you probably won’t damage the sensor itself. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Hey bud, The very top layer of the sensor is just a layer of glass. Hope that helps!

[@locmor9322]

Thanks for your Video! What did you use under your camera? Its Not an L-Bracket? Can you Tell me which Model it is? Thanks a lot!

[@ayce09]

Awesome vid! I’ve been shooting on my Z6 for about a year now and have yet to give it a thorough cleaning. Quick question: do you recommend a certain brand of cleaning kit? Not sure if you mentioned it on the video. Any info is appreciated.

[@TheGeorgiaRover]

Nice video. What size swabs are those?

[@adventuresofjandk]

Curious do you own the Z7? If not was it an easy choice for you between the two? I am torn between the 6 and 7.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Hey bud I did a whole video on why I chose the Z6 over the 7, check it out! Will definitely help you with the decision

[@carlmarch603]

JK’s Outdoor Journal Just my two cents - I own both (and a D850). If you’re planning on shooting lots of video, I’d recommend the Z6. If you’re wanting the best low light experience, get the Z6. If you shoot a lot of landscapes where you’re stitching HDR/panos together, the Z7’s resolution is probably a better choice. If you shoot a lot of wildlife where even with a long lens, you’ll need to crop in extensively, the Z7’s higher resolution will help. Another way of thinking about it is the old 80/20 rule. I think the Z6 will cover at least 80% of what most people want to do and for the other 20%, the Z7 is a better choice. However, in my opinion, if you’re going to be a hybrid shooter and want one of the best mirrorless video systems out there, definitely go with the Z6. BTW, when I did pick up my Z7, I bought a Nikon factory refurbished unit and saved $1K which made it a more palatable decision...

[@davidmurphy7847]

Really helpful. I am now going to clean my Z7. Thanks.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Glad this helped David!

[@jpdj2715]

What the doctor ordered. Note: trusty blower - when its "rubber" ages, it starts to shed particles that you blow into your camera. And, in a dirty environment, the blower can inhale dust to spew it out later. (the rubber is generally not organic but synthetic.)

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

That’s definitely a good point. One reason I replace my blower often!

[@jpdj2715]

@@TheMonochromeMemoirs- this brings another point. In the video, you have this sort-of macho presentation of how simple it is. And it is. But I would be a bit more - you may call it "anal" to keep it lighthearted ;) - careful with throwing all these things around on the work surface. In working with e.g. allergens, people talk about "carry-over" or in my language we would use a term that I'd translate as "cross dragging". Wipe the dirt off the camera, use the blower on the surface that caught the dirt and now blow it back into the camera. So, I like the general idea of this procedure, but if you need to get the innards of the camera clean, include the worktop and what can fall on it. Then, don't forget the rear end of lenses. They might actually be a vector of carry -over. The stuff you wipe off the camera's mount ring might actually be some grease from the back of the lens's mount. If people are in a hurry, I'd say, worktop, rear ends of lenses and caps thereof, mount ring and sensor/space. The micro fiber cloth can become a vector in carry-over too. Then, when everything looks clean to the naked eye, we would need a dust shot with a translucent white body cap (I suggested to Nikon they start making these - thank you, we put it on our list but we are busy and may have more important things to do, they said) - a body cap that could double as reference for documenting how white the light was, where you are shooting (if you don't use the ColorPassport like I do.)

[@tomsviewphoto]

Great approach to cleaning the camera. Work from the outside in, don't just focus on the sensor! :)

[@SaschaThys]

What about sensors like the Nikon ZF that have a floating ibis? Nikon suggest sending it in but there has to be a way to do it yourself right?

[@ianrosenthal7480]

Thanks for the video. This takes some of the fear out of cleaning the sensor. Is there anything different that you would do for a Z50? Compared to my DSLRs and X-T2 the Z50 is proving to be a bit of a dust magnet.

[@miloradkaravidin8818]

Thanks for the video. It is much easier when see one doing rather just talking about it. Also any suggestions how to store camera and lenses especially if living in a place with high humidity. I bought dry cabinet and keep humidity at around 40%, how about temperature, is it also really important?

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Glad this was useful! Dry cabinet is a great idea but I wouldnt worry about temps unless they are really extreme

[@sleepyhungry]

Separate question - what do you do about lens caps when shooting during an event? Do they stay off the whole time? It's so annoying to have to take it on and off, and then I also risk losing the cap itself, BUT at the same time I hate to leave the glass exposed when I don't know when I'm going to use it next. Is there any good solution for what to do with lens caps while shooting? Thanks for the all of the videos. As an enthusiast, the Z6 and the Z lenses have put the "enthusiasm" back into my photography. After moving to the D750 from the D700, I really missed the look and feel of the D700 pics. There was something clinical about the D750. And the weight of both just became a burden to carry around. I would only drag my camera out to what I deemed super-important events. I share the same experience of the Z lenses working so much better with the Z6 compared to putting F glass on with the FTZ adapter. The pictures themselves with F glass are still great when they hit, but the experience of shooting with the Zs is so much more pleasurable, with autofocus snappy and the lighter weight, and I end up with more hits. I mean, it shouldn't be a surprise that the Z lenses work better with the Z camera, but it's still something you have to experience. Will, your videos about the Z6, your philosophy about photography in general, and your enthusiasm as well, have inspired me. The fact that you go out and do stuff and report back about how things work and feel in practice is so refreshing versus someone sitting there "testing" gear. You're not clickbait-y, and your authenticity and decency shoot like bolt straight to the viewer. Don't ever lose the great attitude and humility, you are an inspiration and a great teacher!

You can pair a lens cap with a body cap, so neither of them get dusty.

You have surely never worked in a professional dust sensitive area! Dust particle are so small that they will not have "gravity" (technically of course but they don't "fall" down). therefore: Whatever particle you blow away is still moving for minits. Whatever you're are wearing is collected with particles, your desk etc. Whenever you're holding anything over the cam, particles will "fall down". Holding or doing anything over the exposed sensor is stupid if you are doing this to get it cleaner (like the cleaning stuff, the spray, turning the cleaning stick etc). FIRST: GET A CLEAN AREA.

Hello, and thanks for sharing this info! I'm curious, I accidentally touched the sensor (nikon z6) with the smallest tip of my finger. I know, it should never have happened. Am I totally screwed, and what should I do? AHHHHHHHHH

Is there not a setting within the camera , auto cleaning ?
