[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 148978, member: 4399"] I just followed the instructions in the manual for raising the mirror and shutter to blow it off. From there I used an unconventional method to dry clean stubborn dust off (qtip covered in micro-fiber cloth). The wet cleaning systems come with their own directions. The main thing is just to be careful and work in a clean enviroment. Once you work with it the terror fades :). At some point all sensors need to be cleaned, may as well learn how to do it. I will not be sending mine into Nikon, I do not think they have a fix or are willing to. Not going to be without my camera for 3 weeks for a 5 minute cleaning and I do not want a new shutter assembly to break in past the "dust phase" all over again. [/QUOTE]
