[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 183002, member: 9240"] [B][I]Every[/I][/B] serious photographer should have the tools and knowledge of how to maintain their gear, and assess any problem they may be having with it before resorting to calling for warranty service. A bulb blower is [B][I]the most basic[/I][/B] item required to maintain a clean sensor. As you will notice, I did not merely suggest that this might be the solution, only that it's a first step in assessing the solution. If, after using the bulb method, dust (and oil) are persistent then they should take a harder look at sending a practically new camera in. Wet cleaning would come, in my opinion, at your own risk at a camera that new if there are known problems, and I would heartily recommend sending reference photos to Nikon for a "I don't see a problem" letter first before cleaning. That said, knowing how to do a wet cleaning is the second most basic thing a photographer should know in terms of maintaining their gear. Battery swapping aside. [/QUOTE]
