Today we have a simple but important guide on how to clean the sensor in your camera. If you do this your photos and videos will start looking better immediately. The last thing anyone wants is a bunch of dark spots in their images and that's exactly what dust on the sensor can cause.

Thank you for the video. I have been cleaning my Sony a7iii with this method but just purchased the Sony aV and noticed that they had some methods to cleaning the sensor. This included taking the lens off to use the camera sensor cleaning function. As far as I knew this has been a big no no. Nothing is mentioned by Sony manual about swabs so I wondered if you know whether it is still an acceptable method with the V. I don't think Sony has ever really promoted swabs but their new features made me wonder if they have improved their cleaning methods.

Who makes the handheld blower you showed in the intro. Didn’t see a link to it.

@SPDTDL 3 ай бұрын

You forgot to lock out the ibis. Go into cleaning, and when it shakes the sensor, you get a message saying it’s now ready for cleaning. You leave the camera on, clean it, then turn it off.

What if your sensor is a 2/3 size one? The smallest sensor kit I can find is for 4/3 sensor.

@creative_cozmic Жыл бұрын

I need to wet clean my A7III for the first time since I bought it in December 2019. I hear some people say you should run the camera’s cleaning mode first because it locks the IBIS and avoids damaging it when cleaning. I’m disappointed the cleaning kit I bought has very poor instructions (just three photos) and the site it recommends visiting is just a scaremongering nightmare. At least this video and others I’ve seen are very helpful on this subject.

@InventiveImagery Жыл бұрын

Great video. How do you lock the IBIS feature on the FX3 for sensor cleaning? Any idea?

@dsl4n 4 ай бұрын

there should be a sensor clean feature in the menu and that will lock the ibis

In my experience it doesn't lock the IBIS (the sensor still moves around) but allows you to clean safer I guess? @@dsl4n

Hi Thank you for posting this! I have question, when I cleaned sensor with same kit as you used, I did gently but one spot was hard and I might push slightly harder and sensor was little wobble. it seems fine but I still nervous. this wobble cause damage my sensor system? thank you for your help! and I'm sorry for my broken English ....

you need to lock the sensor before cleaning otherwise it will wobble

My local photo shop charged me $150 to clean my a7r iv sensor and didn't even get it all. This was after I declined to mail it to Sony's contracted third-party shop that they recommend for sensor cleaning after reading that they were terrible.

@davidburchettephotography6513 Ай бұрын

Where do you stand on using a second dry swab to go over the sensor to dry any liquid that remains (i.e. - you used just a little too much fluid on the first swab)?

@SamuelJamesVideos Ай бұрын

A fresh swab isn't going to hurt anything IMO. It's still just a piece of glass, it's just a piece of glass you really don't want to scratch. Treat it as such and make sure there's no left over liquid

Thanks for the helpful video. I have a Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera. It has a spot that won’t come off with the blower. Is it safe to try your cleaning tech with this type of camera? Or am I better off sending it in for cleaning. No worries - I’m just asking for advice, not holding you responsible. 😁

@SamuelJamesVideos 8 ай бұрын

Yeah man all mirrorless cameras should pretty much be the same as far as I know. Just get the liquid and swabs and give it a whirl. The sensor is still a piece of glass so it's not like ULTRA FRAGILE it's just not something you want to scratch up by pushing dust around on it. The swabs help negate that effect by being ultra soft and having that liquid on them. I hope this helps.

Man, I had the lens off for just a moment and somehow got my rifles cleaning lubricant on the sensor. I just sent it in for repairs. It makes my sick just thinking about it.

@SamuelJamesVideos Жыл бұрын

That sounds horrible. I don't even know what would be safe to use to remove that. Maybe some sort of solvant. The problem would be not knowing if there's fragments of grit in the solution that you'd drag across the sensor trying to wipe it off

@tigerwittman Жыл бұрын

This might be a dumb question but the cleaning solution doesn’t damage the sensor at all? It being a liquid scares me lol

@SamuelJamesVideos Жыл бұрын

As long as you're not dropping/spraying liquid down into the body of the camera it's fine. Just couple drops on each side and drag, you're done. You don't have to scrub and make sure there's no debris before hand so you're not dragging anything across the sensor other than the swab

@tigerwittman Жыл бұрын

@@SamuelJamesVideos should you wait a little after dropping the liquid on the swab?

@JimIBobIJones 10 ай бұрын

You really don't need to baby your sensor to the degree being suggested here. Sure, you need to be careful but all sensors have a hardened layer of glass over them. You aren't cleaning the silicone sensor itself but the glass that sits on top. That glass is no more fragile than the glass in your lenses.

@SamuelJamesVideos 4 ай бұрын

That's an excellent point and one of the things I tell people now that I've gotten a little more experience. It would be cool if there were removable covers on the sensor that you could swap out, like a second piece of clip in glass so sensor scratches were less permanent and dangerous
