It&#8217;s every photographer&#8217;s nightmare: dust on the sensor. While the temptation to give it a quick wipe is great, the sensor remains the most sensitive (and expensive) part of your camera.  <\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Careless cleaning can turn a simple dusting into an indelible scratch. To save you a hefty repair bill, here are the <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"150\">5 fatal mistakes to avoid when cleaning your SLR or hybrid sensor<\/b>. <\/p><hr data-path-to-node=\"5\"><h2 data-path-to-node=\"6\">1. Use compressed air spray<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"7\">This is the most common beginner&#8217;s mistake. You think you&#8217;re doing the right thing by using a conventional dry-air can to blow away the dust. <\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"8\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The risk:<\/b> Compressed-air bombs often spray micro-droplets of liquid propellant. This liquid can create chemical stains on the low-pass filter that are extremely difficult to remove. What&#8217;s more, the pressure is often too great for delicate mechanisms.  <\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The solution:<\/b> Use only a hand-held <b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"41\">blower bulb<\/b>, such as the famous <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giottos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwjczKLCjKyTAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQkwE\">Rocket Air from Giottos<\/a>, the benchmark for professional photographers for non-contact particle removal.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2 data-path-to-node=\"9\">2. Cleaning your sensor with makeshift tools<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"10\">We&#8217;ve seen it all: cotton buds, tissues, or worse, the corner of a T-shirt.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"11\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The risk:<\/b> cotton buds leave microscopic fibres. Paper, on the other hand, is abrasive. Even if you don&#8217;t see any damage with the naked eye, you&#8217;re damaging the sensor&#8217;s surface treatment, which will affect the quality of your images, especially in <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.photo911.fr\/en\/studio-photography-creating-controlled-ambiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwjczKLCjKyTAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQlAE\">studio photography<\/a> where every detail counts.  <\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The solution:<\/b> invest in single-use <b data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"35\">swabs<\/b> from well-known brands such as <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/visibledust.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwjczKLCjKyTAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQlQE\">VisibleDust<\/a>, whose width is adapted to the size of your sensor (Full Frame, APS-C or Micro 4\/3).<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2 data-path-to-node=\"12\">3. Excess cleaning fluid<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"13\">Wet&#8221; cleaning is necessary for greasy stains (pollen, condensation). But be careful with dosage. <\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"14\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The risk:<\/b> If you pour too much liquid onto the stick, it can seep under the sensor frame by capillary action, damaging the internal electronics.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The solution:<\/b> Two drops are enough. The stick should be <b data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"60\">damp, not soggy<\/b>. For the most stubborn stains, software such as <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/fr\/products\/photoshop-lightroom.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwjczKLCjKyTAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQlgE\">Adobe Lightroom<\/a> allows you to visualize defects via the &#8220;Visualize stains&#8221; tool, before deciding on a second pass.  <\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2 data-path-to-node=\"15\">4. Forgetting to fully charge your battery<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"16\">On an SLR, the mirror must remain raised and the shutter open throughout the operation.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"17\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The risk:<\/b> If your battery dies, the mirror or shutter curtain will close violently on your cleaning tool. The result: a broken shutter mechanism and an expensive repair. <\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The solution:<\/b> Never start without a <b data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"62\">fully<\/b> charged battery. Most manufacturers&#8217; manuals recommend this as a golden rule. <\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2 data-path-to-node=\"18\">5. Ignore internal stabilization (IBIS) on hybrids<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"19\">Modern hybrid cameras (Sony Alpha, Nikon Z, Lumix) often feature a &#8220;floating&#8221; sensor.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"20\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"20,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"20,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The risk:<\/b> The sensor moves freely when de-energized. Pressing too hard can force the stabilizer&#8217;s micro-motors. <\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"20,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"20,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The solution:<\/b> check whether your housing has a sensor lock function. Always work with a light hand: it&#8217;s the chemistry of the liquid that&#8217;s at work, not the strength of your wrist. <\/p><\/li><\/ul><hr data-path-to-node=\"21\"><h2 data-path-to-node=\"22\">When to do it yourself and when to call in a pro?<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"23\">Sensor cleaning is part of routine maintenance, but it requires calm and a healthy environment.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"24\"><b data-path-to-node=\"24\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Do it yourself if :<\/b><\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"25\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"25,0,0\">You have &#8220;dry&#8221; dust that is blown away.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"25,1,0\">You are equipped with specific, certified equipment.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-path-to-node=\"26\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Call in a professional if :<\/b><\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"27\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"27,0,0\">Stains persist after two wet passes.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"27,1,0\">You suspect liquid ingress or a scratch.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"27,2,0\">You prefer to delegate this technical task to ensure the longevity of your equipment.
