Gave my sensor a wipe with a lens cloth. It looks like this now. Have I damaged it or will a sensor clean (In store ) fix it?
Thats what I was thinking. Well you learn from your mistakes!!! Doesnt show up when i put a lens on though????
Can you explain, in detail, exactly what you did?Shall I just take it to my local camera shop to be cleaned and see what happens from there??
Wiped the top inside the front housing and the bottom (On an angle). I dont think it was the sensor as there was no mirror lock up. Wiped the two pieces you can see as you look in the cameraCan you explain, in detail, exactly what you did?
In order to wipe the SENSOR with a cleaning cloth you'd need to put the camera in Mirror Lock Up; did you do that? NO
And if you did, did you then actually wipe inside the camera with a lens cloth? Because if you did, then yes; it's time to do nothing but step away from the camera and have it taken to a professional to be examined as soon as possible.
Okay, this is actually good news. Based on your description I'm assuming you cleaned areas #2 and #3...Wiped the top inside the front housing and the bottom (On an angle). I dont think it was the sensor as there was no mirror lock up. Wiped the two pieces you can see as you look in the camera
Well, yes... For now that's what I would suggest.So just take to get cleaned should do the trick. Wont be cleaning it myself. Yet anyway!!!
Just be aware that different brands have very different cleaning procedures.
Nikon requires Rocket air and sensor swabs.
If it's a Canon, remove lens, and place lens and body in dishwasher for full cycle.
Add some Chlorine for best results
