Cleaning big dust motes on DSLR


Recommended Posts

How do you guys clean dusk motes on your DSLR sensor? I have like 2 dark ones which are really annoying, they haven't bothered me in the past because I just wanted to see what some DSO look like but as I want to get better pictures it's become very troublesome.

If it's a Canon, then have you tried the Sensor Cleaning function from the menus ?

Other brands may have a similar feature.

After that it's the Manual Clean function, that holds the shutter open/mirror up until you press the release again.

Hold the camera pointing down and use a manual blower, not an aerosol one that can add more gunk to the filters.

Final resort is a cleaning kit.
