You're the Man Mr Wolf, I have always been wary of cleaning sensors. I try to be super cautious changing lens, and use the same blower you had in Your Video. Thanks for posting these very very educational Videos. This old man appreciate them Young Man.

I ordered a cleaning kit for the sensor and doing the dreaded clean for the first time, this is a great video to follow.

You are the best. The way you explain things is just amazing. Even a toddler could understand. Thanks

Fantastic tutorial, will get one of the Pentax gel sticks, pronto, just praying the dust isn't on the focus prism, fingers crossed!

This channel is amazing. Thanks for the tips

Very useful!
Please tell me which jelly brush I have need to cleaning the censor of Sony A7iii?

[xcomputronx]

So this gel stick is better and safer than the wet green clean swabs?Have you tested the green clean vacuum cleaner?
Is the issue with the green gel related only to Sony ? Thank you!

Hello. I recently bought the amazing Sony A7IV - along side my Canon R6 which I have owned for over a year. I also shoot videos mostly without an ND filter so at small apertures. Never had to wipe my Canon R6 sensor in over a year and same with the prior Canon R which I also owned for about a year. I had the Sony for about a month and the sensor is full of dust. I swap lenses with body side down - I also remove the battery and discharge the voltage by turning on the camera without a battery and I also enable the shutter curtain closing at power off before the lens swap. I try to use the cleaning mode often which is now called Antidust and after a week dust is back. Its crazy how something I never had to worry about is now the number one reason I'm not liking my new Sony. I shoot birds and wildlife and I often start recording in between burst shots so I can not mount and ND in between shots so I'm forced to shoot at small apertures between f16 and f22. I don't have thousand dollar video editing software so I'm left with these videos with spots on them. Photo dust I can clone out but video I can not. Should I be really cleaning my sensor once a week ??? My home is not dusty - nobody smokes and I try to swap lenses indoor as much as possible. I always head out with my 200-600G already mounted. I also download my photos and videos via the side port so I seldom remove the SD card. Seriously with my Canons I used the blower a few times a year to be safe but never touched the sensor with cleaning pads like I do now with the Sony. I also shot video and no dust even at F22. I know the Canon shakes the sensor (cleaning mode) every time I power off and has the shutter curtain down at power off like the new Sony. Is this because the camera is new ???? Will it get better ??? ....help. My house is carpeted should I ground myself before touching the body ??

Hi Im looking at getting one to clean my panasonic GH4 Mirrorless camera should I get the red version?

[kianshoots]

I am late this time😜.. Useful videos as always loved watching ❤️❤️

[Birdaily]

great tutorial, thanks for making this video!

[javiergarcia-rdlj]

Amazing tutorial for both, knowing where the dust particles are located and doing something about it. No offense intended but if I close my eyes I can tell Gru is talking to me. Thanks.

Hi, hope you are well. I'm having an issue I got streaks and made the sensor worse from liquid probably because a cheap one? K&F concept 20ml liquid cleaner with their swabs, they were the only one available now I'm left with streaks, please can you help what to do I'm terrified....

[acekat]

Great video Sir
Are the sticky papers included in the pentax cleaning kit package?if not where can i buy them?can you send some link?
And i have one more question are sensor cleaning wet swabs are better or this cleaning gel stick?

[scottweaverphotovideo]

Much easier to just wipe the entire sensor surface with the appropriate swabs and solution. Only takes a couple of minutes. And yes I always blow off the sensor thoroughly using a special filtered bulb blower. The Zee Pro bulb blower.

Hi, I took glass before sensor, to shoot infrared. Would I damage sensor if I clean it? I'm talking about actual sensor not the glass/filter in front of it. I'm having some kind of white shodow when I'm zooming in and it disappears when I'm fully zoomed out. Did I du something with sensor or just lenses needs to clean as it is old canon sx50. Thanks
