Thanks! I've cleaned sensors before and it's been a breeze, but never on a camera with IBIS. I was nervous about that, but I'm glad to hear that there is the option of locking the IBIS in place for the cleaning.
Hey yeah! Just go gentle and you'll be fine. I've been cleaning my sony sensors for over 2 years and never had an issue! I'm also a pro support member and I've been instructed this way as well by them on doing so! You got this!
Hi Jason! Thank you for this great tutorial! I accidentally cleaned my lens without going into cleaning mode first. I just cleaned when my camera was turned off. Would there be any chance of my sensor moved or damaged by this? Thank you in advance.
For all we know the sensor you showed was clean anyway? 2days later I’m returning after doing exactly what was said here. And apologies for my suspicion. I’m speechless at how clean our sensor is after doing this. It’s just as clean as the £60.00 pounds we spent getting a camera shop to do it. How ever I must say getting the correct sensor cleaner made all the difference. So massive thank you for your tutorial...
Eugene Sampson I’ve seen the gel sticky bro I’ve never had anything critical stuck on the sensor. Thank you for stopping by and checking out the video!
You saved my life! At least my wallet. I was about to send my camera to Sony when I watched your video and just used the cleaning mode ( which hadn’t worked ) but then blew it out with the blower and NO MORE SPOT! Thank you.
Don't be afraid to apply pressure but not too much, just enough to know the surface of the swab is touching the sensor! The sensor will be locked in place so you should be pretty good!
Crap!! Wish I saw this first before I wiped my sensor with an alcohol wipe... d'oh. I was in the field (obviously, an amateur) and saw there must be dust on my A7RII and so just cleaned it best as I could. Never had dust before with my A7II, 5D3, 40D, etc. in the past so wasn't prepared at all. F***!!! What should I do now? Is there a way to see if there was damage, or does it affect ability to get sharp images, or something else I need to worry about now?
if I'm coming to a video on senor cleaning a sony.. I probably already know what those spots are.. I'm just curious about locking the sensor in position
Buy caps and cover immediately. Also if you're talking you're spitting. You just spit a few micro drops over your sensor while it was facing your mouth.
What? No, NO. You NEVER EVER blow inside the camera at sensor with any blower, why? Cos the dust is now blowed deeper into the camera and shutter. This mat result as shutter damage, easily. Also you are missing maybe the most crucial step of all, the sensor brush. IF you not use that before the wipes you can damage the sensor even more, the dust particles can be still in the sensor and swipes now moves the dust particles on the sensor. After that you need to know what kind of liquid to use, not all sensor liquid can be used on a7 series sensor... Be aware.
Let me know if you guys have any questions!
You haven't had any issue with the cleaner you use affecting the sensor in any way have you afterwords have you?
Some of your Amazon links are dead ends
Hi! Have any idea how to remove white dots on mirrorless camera even after sensor cleaning?

Thanks man this was exactly what I needed to see. My sensor is looking great now!
Thanks to the knowledge transfer. You have saved me lots of worry and probably cost.

Good job Bro!! Very helpful!!
thanks for the video. Just got it from your link
thank you bro! these sensors are like dust magnets its a must have!
Dope video definitely need to do this 🙌🏼

Dope tips bro I gotta order that kit
how much pressure do you apply when pressing the swap down?
Don't be afraid to apply pressure but not too much, just enough to know the surface of the swab is touching the sensor! The sensor will be locked in place so you should be pretty good!
Hi, I forgot to remove my lens while cleaning mode, are my camera going to be fine? Pls im worried.

I would get the solution and swabs to remove any of the alcohol residue left! Should be fine tho!

Why it’s easier to notice dust at 22 aperture than 1.8?
Thanks Jay. Very helpful.
Appreciate you checking it out John!
Thank you
Personally, I use a Post-it to remove the rebel dust specks on the sensor.
Oh thanks! gonna try it!
THANK YOU!!!!
good work

6:15?
If you read the manual, it will show that you cleaned the sensor incorrectly.
oh no i blow too much of air on my sensor with mouth

ok, which liquid should I use on a7 series sensor?
