Sensor Cleaning

Simon W · 6th June 2008, 22:01

Has anyone tried some of the sensor cleaning fluids & swabs? I have a pesky spot in the corner of the frame which refuses to budge with a rocket blower.

No Simon, but if you shoot at F8 they don’t show up! Lol

So far, each time I put the camera on clean mode and take a look, it is clean! So far I've no need to clean it. The manual says it has supersonic (or something like that) cleaning, dunno if that is actually a working function though. Will be interesting to see what works for cleaning.

Had to return mine to Nikon for a Problem in Top left that wouldn't clear.
returned quickly all sorted and No Charge.

Thats very Similar to what I had (opposite side) but appeared slightly more noticeable.
Mine was sent to:

Nikon UK Service Dept
380 Richmond Road
Kingston
Surrey
KT2 5PR

It was under Warranty but wasn't sure if that was covered but no charge anyway.

Hi Simon its the D300 Nikon,
It took 10 days round trip which I thought was good compared to some previous.
Only had it 3 Months before I began to notice it on TV LCD Screen.

That sounds a Handy thing to have for the future,
always worry a bit about using these things, on over a Thousand Pounds worth of Camera
