[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 844123, member: 48483"] I did not have time to research earlier, but I suspected early that the Zfc did not have the auto sensor cleaning option that the full-frame bodies have. That vibrates the sensor with the in-body-image-stabilization system to shake dust off when the camera is powered down. Many people turn it off to help save a bit of battery power. I now have had a look at the online Zfc manual and that is true, you do not have an auto sensor cleaning feature in the Photo Shooting menu like my full-frame body does. That is because the DX Z-mount bodies do not have IBIS and rely on vibration reduction built into lenses. Nikon does not rate cameras or lenses as dust resistant. You might look at storing your camera inside one of those neoprene camera covers or a camera-wrap cloth to keep dust off between uses.

In my use, I will go weeks between needing to break out the swabs and cleaning fluid. Some use of a blower in-between. [/QUOTE]
