Cleaning a camera lens sensor is a delicate process that should be approached with caution to avoid damage. Here's a breakdown of the recommended steps:
-
Use an Air Blower: The first and safest method is to use a hand-powered air blower.
- Get close to the sensor, but maintain a small distance to prevent contact and potential damage.
- Give the air blower 5 to 10 good squeezes to dislodge dust particles.
Important Considerations:
- Prevention is Key: Minimizing the need for sensor cleaning is ideal. Change lenses in clean environments and keep your camera stored properly.
- Professional Cleaning: If you're uncomfortable cleaning the sensor yourself, consider having it professionally cleaned.
