[QUOTE="captain birdseye, post: 665061, member: 21047"] My main rules are, 1; only do it when needed. 2; use the blower first, then check. If it is only a small amount of dust blow and check again. 3; If there is still a mark proceed to wet clean, check and repeat if needed. 4; always use the mirror up for sensor cleaning mode with a freshly charged battery. I never let the nozzle of the blower actually enter the mirror box. When swapping a lens I blow the mirror chamber, lens mount and back element of the lens. Even when fitting the body cap to a camera body it is as well to blow the cap and mirror box for good measure. I hate marks on the sensor as much as I hate wet cleaning so I take great care when changing lenses and often take take two body/lens combos with me to minimise lens swapping in the field. [/QUOTE]
