Another great video! When I had Nikon D80 back in the day, I hated cleaning its sensor. Whenever I tried to do this, I would just end up with more dust that was visible even at f/5.6. I blame it on the felt that covered the inside of the camera around the sensor and collected dust like crazy. Nowadays with mirrorless cameras it's a lot easier to clean the sensor, as there are cleaning systems built in. And that rocket blower really does work like magic when you need it.

The first time I hit the sensor cleaning mode on my a6500, I was quite surprised to find my camera doing its best impression of a DualShock controller. Also, the Giotto's blowers are worth the extra expense, they're much higher quality than cheapo generic ones. I have a small one that hangs out in my bag, as well as a larger one that stays home. The Photographic Solutions kit is also great. No horror stories here, thankfully. I've even cleaned the delicate pellicle mirrors in Sony's SLT cameras, no sweat. OH! And one other thing you should get. I don't recall who makes it, but I have a goat hair brush that's designed specifically for sensor cleaning. You use a blower to both clean and build up a static charge on the bristles, then lightly drag it across the sensor. It works great for the few bits of dust that a blower can't get.

It's probably also worth raising the point that it makes sense to be selective, if you can, about where you change lenses, to reduce the risk of getting dust inside your camera. If you can, try to avoid changing lenses in dusty environments. Another point to note is that it is worth checking that the dust you are seeing on your images is really from the sensor, and is not dust on the lens. If that is the case, you may discover that no amount of sensor cleaning will help.

I've found that for the really stubborn stuff a steel wool pad works wonders. Not the kind with the soap already impregnated into it, that will leave residue. Then, I use a little trick and soak it in carburetor cleaner for a couple of hours then scrub again with a scotchbrite pad. If all that doesn't work I'll spray it with flouroantimonic acid. That will eat ANYTHING on the sensor and the sensor itself if you're not quick. Not to mention the whole camera. And anything else it gets on. Two words of caution though if going this route. One, don't forget your hazmat suit and gas mask. It's somewhat toxic. Two, DO NOT use in conjunction with water. It has this small habit of exploding on contact with H2O. That could cause a mess. Other than that, have fun.

Changing lenses outdoors is always risky. I learnt the hard way many years ago to avoid changing a lens in a field with potentially lots of pollen floating around. It sticks to the sensor.

I wanted to replace my dad's camera for his birthday, he's been shooting with a Nikon D60 since that camera came out. I figured that a Nikon D7000 would be a wonderful upgrade both in resolution and usability as it would be able to fully use the lenses that my dad kept from the film era Got one in working condition for very little money, however the camera was FILTHY. I think I spent like 2 hours making this camera look half decent, removing all sort of human waste around the grips, buttons, dust between the buttons, broken part around the battery compartment, I made it look pretty good in the end. However, the sensor was the dirtiest sensor I've seen in a very long time, by that I mean that there was a lot of spots on the sensor, and that wasn't dust, I couldn't get it off with a dust blower, it looked like someone sneezed on it. I got it like the day before the actual birthday party so I did not have any time left to go buy some sensor cleaning stuff or order anything online. What I ended up doing (cause I wasn't about to give my dad a camera that couldn't do a photo at f4 beacause of the dust spots) is that I used some little wipes that you generally use for cleaning glasses, stuffed it on top of a cotton swab, and wiped the sensor this way. It was really effective, as most sensors are covered with a very hard layer of glass to protect it, and you don't have any change to damage it. Could have been a better job, but I didn't see any dust sports aven at f/32, so that's a checkmark for me ! Also, my mom shoots on a Panasonic LX 100, and that camera is known to be a freakin dust eater. I've seen pictures she took that had very clear hairs in the middle of the frame. The technique I use to clean the sensor there is just turn on the camera, cut a water bottle that more or less fits the diameter of the lens, then stick a vacuum cleaner to the other en of it, and leave it sucking air for like 2 to 3 mins, it gets all the biggest dust and air out of the lens system, and ultimately out of the sensor. The other method is to disassemble the whole thing, the process is very time consuming, with plenty of places to screw up, and it permanetly damage the back rubber grip. Get the bottle instead.

My favorite technique is a combination technique. This is something I use for the more subborn dust and oil. I like to use some gentle rubbing with a cleaning compound but that can be expensive so what I do is the following: 1: Take the lens off, this is a no-brainer of course 2: Drive to a sandy road, anythin unpaved will do. The particulate material will serve and the cleaning compound. 3: Place the camera in front of one of the powered wheels. 4: Do a burn-out. This will burn out the dust and oil from the surface of the sensor really quickly and with some luck leave behind a protective film from the tire. The sand from the road will do a deep cleaning.

Ok, even I get the point! It's not a task to undertake lightly. I've never liked using the blower inside a camera body, some dust may just get blown around inside. Dust is so light that it tends to float around in still air so whilst the air blast should drive much of it out it will not tend to fall out by itself - although of course gravity helps so do do it as Chris shows. Some dust will probably lodge on the inside of the camera body and then if dislodged later may float back onto the sensor. I prefer the wet wipe method with the correct kit and only do it when really, really too annoying to leave. You do have some protection, the very delicate sensor photo-sites are normally overlaid with up to three layers of filters, an infra-red one, the Bayer and an anti-alias filter. Take great care and follow the instructions - read them first!

I usually just throw in the camera in washing machine, but just make sure you have removed the battery and camera is wrapped in a shirt or a fleece jacket. The fibres really will protect from damage. Too bad flame throwers are illegal in my country, that seems very logical.

Hey, Chris! Why that quiet and subdued "Hi, I'm Chris Nichols..."? Normally you're glowing with energy 🙂

Que tip, drop of distilled water, quick jab on lint free microfiber to reduce excess water, easy peasey.

The toilet cleaning method is still the best method for deep cleaning your sensor. I’ve cleaned several camera’s using that method. There’s also an extra benefit because it improves autofocus because the electronics in your camera perform much better when they are soaking wet. Glad to see that there’s finally a proper KZitem video of the process. I can HIGHLY recommend this method to other users.

I tried the fire technique. Now the camera wouldn't turn on. Did I do something wrong? It wasn't a pure propane gaz canister. Should I have used pure propane?

I can't wait for the follow-up video where they show how to sell your.. gently used cameras to suckers.. I mean, interested buyers using online market services.

There's a lot of meme material in this video to be used on facebook camera groups. Entertaining as always, let's hope everybody recognizes the humour and don't use a flamethrower on their camera.

Lumix says their cameras are weather sealed… so I prefer to put mine in the dishwasher 😊 especially using cascade gets my sensor super clean and spotless.

I followed your advice and for me the drill and pry bar was very helpful, since, i never needed to clean my sensor again. LOL.

I can’t always tell when you’re being facetious. I almost put my camera in the toilet when, in the nick of time, I realized it was a joke.

I tried drilling the hole, but unfortunately the camera isn't waterproof now. BUT it dried really well using the flame thrower method!

I'm so afraid of those people or cultures who don't understand sarcasm or dry humor and try these. At least I had some fun…

I cringed a bit when the camera went in the toilet, but then I realized it was Nikon and that was the best place for it anyway.

Just done today my K3 III and K5 with the Pentax tool, it's so easy. And it is so small, it fits anywhere to take it during a trip. The per-imbibed swabs I used were always too wet, and it was a pain to have sensor dry without some trace on it. So much that I always avoided cleaning the sensor, if the dust wasn't that visible. With the Pentax tool, I don't mind cleaning it more often (really necessary when doing macro and stopped down).

@mipmipmipmipmip I knew about it, but it is only last year that I was aware that it was available outside Japan. At least for Europe, it wasn't imported when it came out.

I bet he was an arsonist as a kid. Probably burned down a building, which was reported on the news. Just check old records and cross check them with his whereabouts at the time.

Followed your guidance and used my Makita power drill on my Sony A1 and it’s no longer working. Any suggestions?
