Is the self cleaning function as good as a professional cleaning? My D7100 is 4 years old (or more) and it's never been professionally cleaned. Also, is there a way to find out how many photos you've taken with the D7100?
Hello, John Black. The self cleaning function can remove dust from the sensor it doesn't remove it completely from the camera and it won't remove any type of smudge or stubborn particles that might not fall off from the vibration of the mechanism. If you haven't had the sensor cleaned in 4 years it may be worth doing so. In regards to your second question, there are sites that allow you to upload an image to and it will pull out the shutter count from the embedded metadata. That's if Nikon embeds that info within the file. Do a google search for "check shutter count online." Thanks for watching! Take care.
On my D7200 I keep trying to change the option to clean at shutdown but it won't change. It seems to default to on startup. I also do not see the OK display as you show. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? I inserted a fully charged battery. I don't have an ac adapter.Thanks.
Hello, Deb Thacker. That's strange. Are you pressing the ok button to make the selection and have you tried setting it to clean at startup and shutdown? Also, is your mode dial set to a user profile?
Thank you for this video. My setup menu says "this option is not available at current settings or in the camera's current state." Do you have any suggestions, pretty please? There's a black spot appearing in all my movies and it's driving me crazy. Thank you so much.
Hi everyone When I use the sensor cleaner on my nikon d7100 I don't hear any noise coming from camera to indicate the process is taking place. Is this normal?? thanks for your help?
hi i can't click 'clean now' on my d7200 camera why it says ' This option is not available at current settings or in the camera's current state. Please help. Thank You.
Hi there! This is done as a part of the camera boot up and shutdown process. You will notice that it takes a couple extra seconds to start up your camera when you have this option on.
Thanks so much! I didn’t know that my camera had that feature. The black dot is gone. You’re a blessing.
Glad we could help!

You're welcome, K mm. You want to make sure that you are either connected to power using an AC adapter or using a fully charged battery.
Can you please elaborate about lock image sensor option ? What exactly does it do?
You can lock the sensor for cleaning purposes to avoid any damage.

Hi, that is normal, some cameras do not make any noise when doing that function.
Can I still do this dust cleaning if my camera has been converted to Infrared? I have a D7000 that has been converted.
Hi, yes it should be done on it too.

thank you!
How does it clean it’s own sensor?
vibrates fast
hi i can't click 'clean now' on my d7200 camera why it says ' This option is not available at current settings or in the camera's current state. Please help. Thank You.
Hi, please remove the lens and make sure that your camera is connected to an AC adapter so that option can work.
Is this a make or break feature for a entry level enthusiast...? Is it actually useful ???
Hi there! No it is not, but you should know how to do it when you need to clean out your sensor.
Good explanation
Thank you!
When you select clean sensor at start up and shutdown it doent say that the camera is cleaning the sensor like it does when you select clean now

Arsalan Khairullah that’s a dead pixel
Thank you, this was helpful
No problem! :)
why lock mirror up for cleaning not available?
Hello, Rahman Man. If the battery level is too low, the camera may not allow you to lock the mirror up for cleaning. Thanks for watching!
So when this doesn't work, what do you do?
Then you should take it to a pro so they can clean it.
sir is this facility available in nikon D5300?
It sure is! Check out these newer swabs for APS-C sensors like the Nikon D5300: th-cam.com/video/0sm6bl_CkVA/w-d-xo.html
