    Great Video! I have been cleaning my camera sensor myself for years now and it truly build your confidence on doing it if you have a reliable cleaning kit that you can trust on keeping your sensor safe from dust, marks, prints etc. Thats why I use Photographic Solutions cleaning supplies. The sensor swab is perfect on gently cleaning the sensor with the Eclipse solution which instantly cleans and dry without leaving any blemishes. For the blower i use the Hepa Orbit blower which is pretty good on removing dust or particles in the sensor.

    Thank you! I recently noticed some annoying spots on my images (Fujifilm X-S20), and as a beginner, the thought of cleaning the sensor and figuring out how to do it felt overwhelming. Your video made the process so much easier to understand. I've already ordered all the tools I need for the cleaning. Thanks again, and have a great day!

    I DID IT!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your great demonstration. I have been so afraid of doing this that I would wait until the camera store that is 45 miles away had a sensor cleaning event every 3 months. Then I would be $40 for someone to clean the sensor. I just noticed a big spot on my new XT5 after changing the lens and I am getting ready to do a special trip so I ordered the kit from Amazon that you linked and I watched this video several times, took notes, and did it. I am so grateful for your channel. I always make sure that I like every video you post, even ones that aren't about a subject that I am interested in - just so you can get likes. You provide a great service. Again I can't say thank you enough.

    I had dust and a residue from a aero duster can air spray. This worked perfect your instructions perfect and PSI size 2 product worked great. I did need a second swab as 1st swab had left a slight smudge. I used the squeeze duster as you said, threw my can of air spray away. The dust particles gone and air spray can residue gone. Sensor like new! Thanks !

  • @ulflanz7334
    @ulflanz7334 7 месяцев назад +1

    A faster way of preparation is to put the camera into update mode. It also locks the IBIS and the shutter. Putting the fluid to the swabs depends on the cleaning kit you bought. Some of them wants the fluid only on one side of the swab and wants you to wait after putting the fluid to the swab for a few seconds (10 seconds with the kit i bought) before wiping over the sensor.

  • @NinaSusanneOfenloch

    I always dreaded having to clean the sensor but had to so it a few weeks ago. Now I am watching your video and am confused. I ordered a kit for an APS-C Sensor and I thought those all had the same size 🙈 Never thought to fact-check this info. Anyways, it went well and I am not scared of it anymore, but my next camera will have IBIS so I still learned something from you. Again 🙂

    Q tips and distilled water worked for me for years, and if I scratch the sensor (which is very unlikely seeing how thick the protective glass is on new cameras) I can always convert the camera to infrared and double it's price.

  • @nevvanclarke9225
    @nevvanclarke9225 7 месяцев назад

    There's just one at the point Chris that you didn't mentioned and I want to mention this to everyone and I do clean my own senses is use your blower every time you change lenses so every time you change the lens. The other thing I would say is the sensor does have filters on top of it so you're not gonna damage it by putting a little bit of pressure on the swab. Don't be fearful that you have to be really dainty with it. You can actually put a little bit of pressure on it that is my finding as well and yes, I'm a professional photographer that has cleaned, my sensors for years. There is one other little step that I do after you've taken the swab back left and right I then use my blower to dry the last bit of residual fluid on the centre. Yeah I just couple of blows with the blower and that will dry any streak marks that may appear because sometimes you do get a little bit of streaking and that's fairly normal don't panic people most of it evaporates but you can use your blower at the end to get rid of the last few streaks that are sitting on the sensor and thank you for the video Chris. I've shown many of my photography students how to clean their own sensor and you are 100% correct. In everything you did. I didn't go into the whole settings in the camera thing so much. I just take the battery out of the camera so the camera can't operate. That's probably the other little tip that I would give people that way. You can't turn the camera on or anything like that. That's just another tip. Thanks for your videos mate. Great stuff.

  • @jordangrobe8698
    @jordangrobe8698 7 месяцев назад

    Hey Chris!
    One suggestion to make this process even quicker - since there’re a bunch of settings you should be changing back and forth from your usual preferences for the sake of safety, it can save a ton of time to back up your normal camera settings (via either X Acquire on desktop or XApp on mobile) make these changes, back up again (label it Sensor Cleaning or something), and then just load your normal settings back on when you’re done.
    That way you avoid any risk of accidentally forgetting to change a setting back, and you can ping pong between profiles as needed with just a click :)

  • @NostalgicPositive
    @NostalgicPositive 7 месяцев назад

    Thank you for this complete tutorial. It really covers everything. Another tip from my personal experience. If you haven't used your blower in awhile, chances are the nozzle would have collected some dust. Give it a few good presses first before using it on your sensor.
    I made this mistake years ago and it and blew so much dust straight into my sensor!

  • @grafixnetz
    @grafixnetz 7 месяцев назад

    Thanks for this Chris. I was wondering why the camera had to be ON during the process and found the answer:
    "The camera needs to be on for the IBIS mechanism to work.
    When the camera is ON, and IBIS is OFF, the IBIS mechanism locks the sensor in place.
    That's why. When the camera is OFF, the IBIS is free floating. It needs current to lock in place."
    Why doesn't Fuji simply *lock the sensor* when the camera is turned off? It would make cleaning (and changing lenses) a LOT safer.

  • @barrymayes6712
    @barrymayes6712 7 месяцев назад

    I have a problem with dust spots, some of them are big specs of dirt in some of my lenses when using a small aperture. This is a FANTASTIC video on how to clean the sensor. Years ago I ruined a sensor with a can of air sprayer! I’ve also ruined a sensor by leaving streaks on it which can show up if you pull detail out of shadow. Never been able to remove the streaks! Therefore, My favourite cleaning tool is one that has a pad set perpendicular to the stick and you touch it completely flat on the sensor and lift it and place it again until you have worked your way across the sensor-one size pad for any size sensor. I’ve had my sensors cleaned by Fujifilm who do not always do a good job. I also get my lenses cleaned by Fujifilm. Despite WR many zoom lenses suck in dust through the rear. Thanks again-great instructions.

    @ci3828 7 месяцев назад

    Thanks, Chris. I'm writing for my xt5. The link to the Sensor Swab Ultra is 17mm, while the sensor of the xt5 is 15.7. Then we have that 17>15.7, so it should not enter the frame to best clean the sensor mirror. Yet from the video images, it almost seems like the 17mm Sensor Swab Ultra is only slightly smaller than the sensor! Ultimately, the clarification is: is the Sensor Swab Ultra 17mm good for the fuji xt5 or is it too large as the measurements suggest?

    A lot of people are afraid of scratching the sensor, but it's covered with clear glass, so no more susceptible to scratching than a lens - just use a proper kit:
    Also, if you take the camera to a shop to be 'professionally' cleaned, bear in mind that the shop will simply do exactly what you've described (hopefully) and the 'professional' given the job might just be the Saturday Boy.
    Lastly - might be an urban myth - but one 'professional' shop was alledged to do the job with a Lens Pen rather than proper swabs.
