WHAT YOU NEED<br />
• Lens blower – Don’t<br />
use your breath and<br />
leave spit on <strong>the</strong><br />
sensor…<br />
• <strong>Sensor</strong> swab – You can<br />
get <strong>the</strong>se disposable on<br />
e use swabs on eBay.
1) CHECK FOR DIRTY SENSORS<br />
• Attach any clean lens and<br />
use a very small aperture.<br />
• Take a pho<strong>to</strong> of a piece of<br />
white paper.<br />
• The dust spots will appear<br />
clearly in <strong>the</strong> pho<strong>to</strong>.<br />
• Don’t need <strong>to</strong> clean if <strong>the</strong><br />
sensor is not dirty.

after au<strong>to</strong> cleaning.<br />
