I don't understand why Sony doesn't make a curtains that covers the sensor for lens swapping. Whenever you take a lens off, the curtains would close, preventing dust from coming in to the sensor. You could obviously open the curtain if you'd like in the settings, for manual sensor cleaning. This looks simple to me and would be so helpful.

@thatsreallyamoon 3 жыл бұрын
Because it would cause the sensor to be further away from the end of the lens. Mirror less cameras work such that the less space you have between the back of the lens and the sensor, the better the image. Anything like you propose requires more space.

There is also a menu option that can vibrate the camera if you want to try to shake the dust off. Another thing is be sure the camera is off when you change and wait a couple of seconds (if you can) I have been told that dust will be drawn in if current is still going through camera.

My best advice is to avoid changing your lens... You could get a second camera and put the other lens on it. Maybe a camera from the last generation or an APS-C vs full frame. You get a backup, one more battery and two different sets of settings. Mirrorless are less bulky so you can easily fit the bodies with the lenses in your bag. No more hesitation, much faster to get the good combination. Love your work btw :)

Another Pro tip: Don't go diving with your camera. Well, unless it's an waterproof one like those Action Cams. And sometimes... well, sometimes you get caught by surprise. Like you are at the coast on a windy day and suddenly a wave breaks over you and soaks your camera. Be quick and get it dry as soon as possible. Some say it helps to cover it in rice.

Caution regarding swab kits. I had no issues cleaning my Fuji E-1 sensor multiple times and even the X-T1. But insanely i managed to scratch the X-T20. It felt different underneath (like soft or papery) so perhaps some coating changes. Needless to say will never do this again and instead happily fork over £20. Sadly learnt the hard way. Although admittedly DLSR sensors seem to be tougher than mirrorless.

I've heard that it's not a good idea to point the camera at the sun for long periods - esp with a wide angle lens, as it concentrates the sun too much in a tiny point & may burn the sensor. Makes sense, but I've never actually heard of anyone having that experience.

I don't do the other things you mentioned. Thanks.

They work. And also remember only swipe one way and turn it and swipe back and that’s it and use a clean swab. NEVER reswipe. Like I said, don’t be cheap. I learned my lesson.
