I ended up having to do it twice, once with a large brush and once with a small brush. I think I still missed a fleck in one corner, but it's absolutely tiny, and I can ignore it until more junk accumulates.</p> <p>It was, in a way, an absolutely terrifying experience. Screw this procedure up bad enough and you've just disabled or destroyed a thousand dollar camera. My nerves were not helped by the visibility of a thinly streaked sheen visible on the sensor in sunlight. At some point, I may do a liquid-based clean, but not now. Like everything else that tends to affect me this way, it only started catching up to me when I was doing the testing. Actually performing the cleaning bothered me not at all.</p> <p><a href="http://www.resonant.org/20050525-first-sensor-cleaning">read more</a></p> http://www.resonant.org/20050525-first-sensor-cleaning#comments Nervous Personal Log Photography Wed, 25 May 2005 18:59:51 -0400 Zed 842 at http://www.resonant.org
