Some things to add: 1. Make sure you check the web to see if other people have used the fluid you're using with good results. Some cleaning fluids will eat away some sensors so it's very important to use a fluid that others have successfully used with your camera model. 2. Use a fully charged battery. 3. Take test shots before to confirm it needs cleaning and after to see if you got it all. f/22 shots of a bright clear cloudless blue sky work best for me if available at a focal length between 18 and 50mm. In a pinch you can use multiple handheld shots of a clean white wall or white a4 sheet of paper. (Anything blotches or specs that move between shots is not on the sensor.) 4. Light pressure only when cleaning. No scrubbing. 5. You can clean the sensor with dust free pec pads wrapped around a flat piece of plastic that is the right size. When I've tried it's taken multiple (many, many) repetitions, so if you can get the proper pads from a reputable source at a reasonable price that's going to be better. 6. Don't freak out if you think you scratched your sensor. Unless you used a faulty swab, applied a lot of force, or used a fluid that's eaten away your sensor, chances are it's just streaking. Repeat the cleaning, and go easier on the fluid.

Thank you very much. I have had this lovely piece of lint in all of my photos for the past 12 years and have never had the courage to lock up the mirror to clean off the sensor. So I would just photoshop it out of all my images. And I wasn't going to pay someone to do such a simple job either. So over the last 2 months I have been slowly buying up swabs, spray, microfibre cloths and air blower as cheap as could of eBay and FINALLY cleaned my sensor. It worked perfectly and only cost me about $5 in bits and pieces. After seeing that little fluffy line of lint for all those years, I now kind of miss it.

Ahhh. The little bell next to "Subscribed". Not clicked; now it is. Better late than never... Excellent post. You hit all of the salient points. One thing though: Olympus advises not to clean your own sensor. They have an anti-static coating on their sensor and and the sensor cleaning fluid is rumored to remove that coating. I don't know how true that is, but it is enough to scare most owners away from cleaning at home. Also, with IBIS the sensor is floating and it is freaky to touch it. However, an Olympus team visited a camera store near Boston recently and cleaned two cheap used eBay Olympus e-m10 cameras for me FOR FREE. Can't beat that.

Excellent video! I have microbiology in my background so I get it all exactly (The hairs stand up on the back of my neck if people leave the lid off the mayo!). I have cleaned mine maybe twice and only after a lot of YT research. My 'clean room' was a tent on the living room table wetted all over inside with I forget what -maybe just water). I made my own swab with lens tissue rubber banded onto a tiny rubber baking bowl scapper. Isopropanol kindly supplied by my former place of employment (bioscience lab in my college). And I bought a huge magnifying class. You nailed it when you said it was like defusing a bomb! For lens cleaning (at leat for microscopes) I always taught students that you blow first so there is less chance of polishing a piece of grit as you clean. Great video thanks. Love your stuff!

Hi Peter, did you see that Philip Bloom (UK photographer/videographer) uses a method for keeping his sensor clean by sticking a small piece of double sided sticky tape to the inside of his body cap so that it catches any loose particles whilst he has his cameras in transit/storage. I haven't tried it as I don't use my gear in dirty environments but it makes sense. Love your videos BTW - thank you for making them!

yup, it's pretty funny how overly careful people are. I mean, look at mirrorless. There, whenever you change a lens, your sensor is exposed. And if you do lots of different kinds of photos - e.g. tele, 'normal' lengths and macro, you're going to get a speck of dust on there sooner or later.

Went to the nearest town from were we stayed and parked the car. We got out, and walked around town for a couple of hours. Did some shopping and got something to eat. Got back to the parking lot and I was like what the hell... the driverside door was wide open. Turns out I left the door wide open as I was helping our daughter out of her seat... And you know what.. My K10 Pentax was under the driverseat the whole time.. Nothing was stolen so there's nothing rotten in Denmark.... :) Great videos Peter, I've been binging McKinnon like it was Narcos.

Wyvern, you should really get over this fear quickly. Cameras are meant to be used--you're just missing out by not actually using your gear. Almost all photographers change lenses regularly with no serious problems--you might just have to do what this video suggests once a year or so. Or, if you're the nervous type, you send it away to Canon or whoever to have them do it. Also, about the Sony vs. Canon thing, I actually always had to clean my sensor more on my Canon 5DII than any mirrorless I've used, for whatever reason.

Hey Pete, great video, not sure if you know this but with your lens cleaning cloths if you wash them don't use conditioner in the wash if you do they don't clean properly and smear something which is contained in the conditioner leaves a residue. Just detergent only and your good to go. PS really loving the videos man.

I do a lot of portraits of family and friends and just last week I decided to take some landscape shots. With the f stop set at f/22. When I opened my work in lightroom I was shocked at seeing all the blemishes and spots. Unfortunately, even after editing the shots I couldn’t clean up the images as good as I would like. I felt that they were all unusable. I ordered a sensor cleaning kit on Amazon and cleaned my sensor the moment the kit arrived. I have never done this before and I was quite nervous about doing it but I am glad I did. That night we had another great sunset that I was able to capture it and although I missed a couple of spots on the sensor I was happy with the results. Also, I would like to say I missed you at ProFusion 2017. I had to miss the first day due to a family emergency. Hopefully you will be there this year. All the best for 2018.

So......spray cleaning solution on the cloth and wipe the front element of my lens THEN blow it off with a rocket blower. Got it, Next take my DSLR into a hot steamy bathroom and open it up exposing the cool sensor to hot super humid air. Got it! Can I try all this out on your gear 1st? You know, just to see how it turns out.

Morons, a shower running on full heat for five minutes will get nowhere close to "steamy" and if you don't have enough common sense to not put steam into your camera body anyway you deserve to break your sensor.

JPG tosses away the majority of image information in order to make the file size a lot smaller, giving you less dynamic range and color range to work with. No to mention the compression artifacts that JPG introduces even at the highest compression settings. JPG should only be used for the very final result after editing the image. Of course, if you are happy with the shots straight out of camera with the scene settings applied and you don't want to edit your shots, JPG is fine.

My first DSLR was a Nikon D40. Within a couple of days I noticed a spot on all pictures on a light background. At that time there were warnings not to touch the sensor with anything. So I bought the air blower and could never get the spot off. So I exchanged it at the camera shop two weeks later. They didn't really want to exchange it, but they also didn't want to try to clean it. Now we all know that it is not rocket science to keep it clean. Mostly it is prevention. As you said, do not keep the camera open any longer than necessary. And keep the camera pointing down and the back of the lens pointing up. Dust tends to settle and it is much easier to clean the back glass of a lens than the sensor. Glad you enjoyed Kenya. I lived there many years and still go back regularly. As far as keeping things clean on safari or in villages, I mainly just clean the lens front and the eyepiece until the trip is over.

Hey Peter! Your instructional videos are great but I think we have to be exceptionally careful when dealing with the camera sensor. I believe firmly that one should NEVER touch our sensors unless we're perfectly qualified to do so. If we do have to clean the sensor, I agree that we should only use swabs and proper sensor cleaning liquids. Nothing else. However, I do disagree with a few of the actions here... 1. When you put the swab into the sensor you kinda used a bit of force to press down on the sensor and clean it. I really don't think you should do that as even though you're pressing on the anti-aliasing filter, because of the weight you're putting on something so fragile, you could cause the coating of surface of the sensor to become quite uneven. Instead, you could consider using less force to wipe across the sensor's surface. 2. Do NOT use the same swab to wipe across the sensor a second time! That is the BIGGEST mistake that someone could ever do while cleaning their sensor. This is because, the first time your swab goes across it picks up dust, particles or dirt. By reintroducing that swab onto your sensor, not only could you leave some residue behind from what it picked up before, but the worst that could happen is that the swab drags those particles across the sensor... and you end up with a scratched surface. I think we should all be careful with our sensors and whenever possible try our dearest best to not touch it. It is SUPER expensive to replace a sensor/fix the surface and I don't think any of us would want to be in that position.

Matthew Lim if you own a $4,000 plus camera, I think it's better to just send it away for cleaning once or twice per year as required. Why even f*** with it in the first place.
@matthewlim3362
@matthewlim3362 7 жыл бұрын
I totally agree with you! The sensor replacement could cost almost as much as another camera! But I think Peter's video is out there for those who would like to try cleaning it themselves and are learning to care for their own gear. Furthermore, when changing lenses in a really dusty place while on assignment or holiday you might be forced to do it yourself! No harm putting an educational video out there :)

Nothing wrong with applying a bit of pressure to the swab, I do it all the time and my cameras don't get damaged. If you don't apply any pressure, the sensor doesn't get cleaned.

I agree with most of this. I'm a 1st/2nd ac so I clean a lot of cinema lenses that cost like $40,000 a piece. When cleaning a lens, before you wipe it down, spray it with compressed air or a rocket blower to get any fibers out of the lens. Otherwise, if you have some dirt on the lens and don't blow it off, when you put your lens cloth on the lens and rub, the dirt/sand/dust could scratch the lens - making the cloth like sand paper to the face of the lens.

sensor cleaning swabs are a great suggestion. don't even need liquid. they are relatively cheap and as long as you wipe the sensor correctly with them (using the instructions) they remove dust great and do the job quickly and well. :)
