[QUOTE="Calgary 617, post: 21775, member: 6349"] You can do that, some people are not comfortable doing it on their own as Nikon tells you to get it done at a service point, some are afraid to do it on their own as they fear damaging the sensor. I saw how it is done once and since then I do it myself with the following kit: [URL="https://www.thecamerastore.com/products/visible-dust/visible-dust-britevue-7x-sensor-loupe"]https://www.thecamerastore.com/products/camera-care/sensor-care/digital-survival-kit-2[/URL] and loupe: [URL]https://www.thecamerastore.com/products/visible-dust/visible-dust-britevue-7x-sensor-loupe[/URL] You need a fully charged battery, only if it is at 100% you will find the cleaning lock up for the mirror in the camera menu (it should be described in the manual). Once I have the lens off, the mirror up and see the sensor, I check with the loupe if I can see the dust with it. Then I carefully blow with a blower like this one: [URL]https://www.thecamerastore.com/products/camera-care/sensor-care/giottos-rocket-air-cleaning-system[/URL] I check again with the loupe if the dust is gone, in most cases it is. If there's stuff on the sensor I can't blow off, I use the swabs. Only one drop put on the edge of the swab is enough, I then place it carefully at one end of the sensor, wipe over the sensor and check again with the loupe. I had to clean my sensor only three times with the wet swabs, usually the blower works. But only if it is dust, if there's a liquid on it that dried, I need the wet swabs but it works fine all the time.[U][/U] [/QUOTE]
