Sensor cleaning, canon

[Bazzon]

I have a few dust particle on the sensor of my 350D.

Ive had a browse on the net and there seem to be a million and 1 solutions, some which seem to be easy but require expensive tool ect.

Does any one have a link or can give me some tip, on which is the cheapest and easiest solution.

thanks /Adrian.

not had the balls myself, bought a new body instead

My dad used it in china though last month and as the sky was so bright and blue the dust showed up real bad, had to edit them all with photoshop, all fecking 750!

I guess, now i have a second body i can just send it off to jessops to do for me.

I use Eclipse fluid and PEC pads with a spatula.

30 second job. Just remember to have a charged battery in and to lock the shutter up.

got any guides sounds abit technical

Do you do the same for your lenses to?

A guide... erm...

1. Put PEC pad on plastic spatula (or buy ready made swabs)
2. Switch camera on, lock the mirror up (should be a menu function to do this)
3. Put a couple of drops of fluid on the PED pad.
4. Wipe the sensor one way. Turn spatula over and wipe again.
5. Repeat 4 if sensor is particularly dirty
6. Put mirror back down.
7. Do a test shot at ~ f22 of a white surface or the sky to check you've missed no bits.

not sure, haven't looked really, just know i wouldn't trust myself doing it!

Might have it serviced at the same time as its had a lot of shutter movements and is 3 yrs old now.

LensPen SensorKlear. I can't fault mine, used it 3 times now. Rocket blower should be first port of call though.

To be honest, Jessops would be the last people I'd hand my camera over to for sensor cleaning.

I asked our local store and they said we dont even do that!

Do try cleaning first witha rocket blower, then move on to a artic butter fly if the dirts still there do some wet cleaning and get some eclipse or e2 fluid
