How to CLEAN your CAMERA SENSOR SAFELY | the easy way 

@@momtomany some modern cameras allows the shutter curtain to be down when camera is off so the sensor wont' be exposed.

@@bluehonour02 should have been a feature with mirrorless from the start.

except the eos rp doesn't close the shutter curtain when turned off ..........

@@ko4ichigo almost all mirorless cameras do not have curtain

@@kamilm6616 Shutters are too fragile for this purpose. That's probably the main reason it didn't go that way.

LOL

wipe the tears off, bud' ;)

😂😂 mouse pointer😂😂

LOL!!!!

That's hilarious, and I know you're joking, because that's the whole point behind moving the camera around while you take the exposure... but kudos, I did LOL!

How were you able to find it? I am using LR Classic and cannot seem to find that button

@@ajlarson5283 you have to click on Spot Removal first, then it appears.

CORRECTED and EDITED TEXT. A couple of things I would add. 1. You would be surprised how much dust rests on the lens where it joins the body of the camera. When possible, blow over the flange surface prior to removing the lens, or even more importantly, prior to replacing the lens. Always remember to blow over the flange to prevent dust falling in when swapping lenses. 2. Always replace lenses with the camera body pointing down. That helps prevent dust from falling in. That also goes for blowing it out with a rocket blower. Always face it down when you can. 3. Never change lenses with the camera switched ON. The sensor develops a static charge when the camera is ON and that static charge will attract dust that falls into the body opening. Now for DSLRs, It is necessary to have the mirror up for cleaning so the camera probably has to be ON for that and that is why you should clean in a very low dust environment. 4. Most cameras have a cleaning mode that actually induces a slight vibration to help clear dust. Most people have this feature turned OFF, but it is worth to switch it ON prior to more drastic steps. 5. I always stage my lens with the cap OFF and ready to put ON before taking OFF the lens to minimize time with a 'live' opening. I wait until done to replace the rear lens cap until the lens is locked into place. 6. Personally, when cleaning, I always wash my hands and wear white lint free gloves of the type picture framers use. Perhaps it is overkill, but oils from the hands and loose skin cells, etc. falling into the camera can become problematic dust particles too, and all of us loose flaking skin cells constantly shedding and rarely realize it. I clean the camera sensor myself, and condition upon one having the correct size swabs and follow instructions, it is very easy to do ... and but as you mentioned, I take no responsibility for what others do to their own camera.

I can see it now Bobcat. Mission impossible music in the background, clock counting down, assistant wiping the sweat from your brow. Is it the green or the red swan? Lol 😁 I know what you mean though. It is a bit nerve racking the first time.

That sounds more like the situation when I'm about to secure the heatsink on a CPU. :D

Same. That's why I never leave my lenses or camera without Cover for longer then 1 second. His coverless Lens on the desk Made me itchy.

Before I started this video I thought “better take off my sweater, I’m gonna get the nervous sweats” 🤣

knees weak, palms are sweaty

Yeah!!!

Brilliant

That is great news! Pesky dust spots

That's why I won't use it

Glad it helped!

Great to hear!
