THANK YOU! I did as you displayed with locking up the mirror and blowing out the dust. WORKED LIKE A CHARM! You just saved me $250 from a local camera shop for them to do the same thing. The "dot" has been on every one of my white pics for 3 months and now I can finally enjoy a nice clean white background again!
Thank You!
mirror is safe to clean with almost everything, it has nothing to do with the image directly, just don't scratch it, you can apply everything on it and it's fine. Sensor is what should be careful for.
I cleaned My Nikon D7000, exactly followed your Detailed Tip, Thanks for the wonderful video
Super helpful video! I purchased a used Nikon D800, and and sensor dust all over my images. I was worried I needed to have it sent out to be cleaned. Nope! I followed your mirror lock up suggestion, and held the camera upside down. Blew a little air in and did not touch the sensor. Presto! No more sensor dust! Thanks!
I just throw mine in the washing machine with some detergent
2 funny :)
+infallibleghost Humor is also best left to the experts.
+infallibleghost Yep. Mine always comes out sparkling clean out of the dishwasher -- best method ever. Or I just deep it in the pool.
+infallibleghost That only works with the 7D.

Nice tutorial and pretty much spot on, when I worked in a Fuji lab we had all kinds of people coming with broken sensors because they had "brushed" them clean, all we used was a hand blower with a static brush for use on the mirrors pretty much how you have used. We didn't used to charge for the service, but we refused a good few because people would bring in cameras with scratched or broken sensors asking us to clean them lol we didn't fall for it tho.
Thank you so much! I was thinking it'd be a long, expensive process to clean, but this saved me a whole load of trouble
I am saddened where people give up their time to share their expertise and experience, and others contribute nothing other than some (trite) criticism. Well done PhotographersonUTube! Thank you
Thanks mate! As someone new to DSLR photography I have found your videos tremendously informative, and I appreciate the time and effort you've gone to in posting them. Any clown who is critical, would do well to remember the old adage of not looking a gift horse in the mouth. A big thanks from Australia.
Thank you, thank you, thank you… :) I have been struggling with dust on my sensor, and after many articles and videos, yours was the first and only to explain, in detail, what I needed to do. After a few blows from the hand held blower, I was able to rid myself of that stubborn dust spot which prevented me from using F/11 and down. Amazing, thanks, and keep up the great videos! - a happy Canadian!
honestly had no clue what to do thank you so so much for posting this!!!
Thank you for posting this video. I had dust problems for a few months now. My dust problems are over today. I thought something was wrong with my camera and that I would have to get another one. Thanks Again!!!
Wow,thank you so much for your help! I got a Canon a year ago! And there has been dust on all my pictures and this video helped me get rid of it!
you've been great man. All this time I thought the speck on the viewfinder was because of the dust from the sensor. the q-tip worked really well.
Thanks Jibran, Great tutorial. I look forward to the one on cleaning the lenses :)
Thanks! Very helpful video, didn't know the mirror could be locked - there was a hair on the corner, resulting in a rounded line across the corner of my photos. Carefully used tweezers and removed it!
Thanks for the q-tip tip! Just what I needed.
awesome man! i was about to do a shoot then i seen dust and i nearly cried, this video saved me! thanks so much
Nice video and great advice on not attempting to clean the sensor with a q-tip. However, I always clean my own sensor, rather than sending it off each time. I get dust particles quite often and the blower itself just doesn't do the job of removing all the dust. There are great kits out there for cleaning the sensor, however, I would suggest that if you're not comfortable with cleaning the sensor yourself, then by all means, take it to a pro. But that can get expensive over time, especially if you need to clean your sensor more than a few times a year like I do.
Perfect. I had a spot that was driving me crazy and now it's gone. Thanks for showing me how to get at it. :)
Great!!! I was confused with a black spot on the pictures. Your video helped me to resolve the issue with a Q-tip to dust off the dirty on the image sensor. Thank you very much :-).
Thank you, I was finally able to gently remove a persistent small hair on the upper part of the inside of my camera. Now it can focus on my subject. :)
thanks, found a spot just before shooting a wedding and no time to take camera in to be cleaned. got the spot out right away!
Oh my gosh.. Thanks so much! I couldn't figure out why my mirror wouldn't lock up.. I changed my battery and blew off the dust and it's like new again! Thanks so much!
This video just saved my ass! I was getting an Err 70 code and my camera wouldn't respond. I took out and reformatted the SD card and voila! No more error code! Thank you so much!
You are my Hero I am waiting for my new camera for Christmas!Now I know so much thank you !

Hi there. Thank you for your videos as they are really very helpful for someone like me. I have been very interested in photography lately mainly outdoor, landscape, scenery etc. I am waiting to purchase a nikon d5100.
Thanks for the perfect explanation. Now I know how to safely clean my camera. I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I see it can be done very safely and easy.
A real positive help, many thanks.
thanks man! really helpful!
FINALLY! Sane, experienced wisdom on cleaning your camera. I can't believe how many crazies I went through to get here. But, I think the best advice is to never get it dirty. How? change lens only when needed, I don't take a lens off until I need another lens. When changing, I make sure that i'm in a dust free area, OR i shield my camera when I VERY QUICKLY change the lens. Cleaning the mirror is one thing, the sensor is another matter, as mirror up can do more harm by introducing more dust, skin, hair, or fibres. Holding the camera upside down is a little ridiculous as dust isn't heavy enough o be effected by gravity, in my humble experience. ( Just look at the dust in a room) I would be very careful about blowing air with a bulb type blower, and wouldn't recommend blowing several times quickly, as this can also do more harm, introducing more dust, and or it getting into other areas IE: the prism, curtain, sensor, and moving parts. I blow once carefully, and hard in a direction carefully chosen, or blow softly only 2 or 3 times. I have worked in Scientific Photography and this was done very carefully. A dry Q-tip is better than using liquid and very lightly wipe the mirror, prism, or sensor to dislodge any remaining dust if blowing did not remove the speck.
Thank you, that really helped me, I had dust showing on the view finder but not on the images, it really annoyed me. But then after watching this you showed me that the dust was inside at the top. Thanks
Thanks for the tip. Will be using it on both Nikon d500 and Canon 600D
thank you very much... I was to afraid to clean inside the camera, but now I know how....
Thanks mate, it was a good informative video.
really helpful, thank you
Very good demonstration. I liked it very much.

Worked perfect thanks a lot !
VERY Helpful - Thanks !
Cleaning starts 04:50
Thanks! This solved the problem! 😊
i would recommend using a cotton bud on the image sensor but if you do press really lightly be patient and have a area with good lighting so you could see what you are doing at first i had more than 20 dust spots and blowing only got rid of 2 spots so i tried using a cotton but and now there are not left but i took me about 5 - 10 mins to fully clean the image sensor
Thanks..nice help for my nikon D3200

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!, GREAT INFO FOR DUMMIES LIKE ME.
Thanks so much worked like a charm
thank you very much bro :)
i cudnt find on the web how to clean the mirror :)
and i was about to use wet swab on sensor hehe
Thank you for this video...I am new to this and I saw something in the pics and was scared I had scratched something inside the camera
thanks, I just removed a dust particle from my sensor. Now it works perfect again!
Thanks pal
You're awesome
Well that was informative sensor cleaning bro.
Basically the same question everyone's asking what do you do if the sensor doesn't get cleaned by blowing air on it? if it has sticky spots on it. As you say take it to the company, but they charge you for the whole thing.
Also for the mirror would the lens pen carbon tip part work for cleaning ?
