Got some dust on me sensor.

So it's finally happened. I blame that nasty pollen junk. Now I have to clean my sensor for the very first time:chargrined:
It was REALLY bad before, at least 20 spots on it. I blew it with my mouth (don't get the wrong idea, there slim..) and most of the spots dislodged, but there's still some stubborn ones on it.

Never ever blow on your sensor or a lens. There's more than just air coming out of your mouth.

Thanks for posting..

I used a rocket air to blow out the particulate matter on the mirror and sensor. It removed most problematic dust specks, but I do need to wet clean it soon..

If it's pollen then it's going to be sticky, so wet cleanings at some point during spring are a fact of life.

And as Dave said, keep your mouth away from that sensor. Dry air is what you want, and that's not what you've got.

Yup, I've heard that advice before. Chose not to follow it.
