Re: istD sensor cleaning (was: More *ist D Hot Pixel Oddness)

[Paul Stenquist]

Mark Cassino told me that he uses an ear syring. I bought a new syringe 
from a pharmacy. I assume it's sterile. I keep it in a box when not in 
use. I just hold the camera upside down with the mirror up and give the 
sensor eight to ten good shots of air without touching it. I then 
examine it for any dust or residue. Works like a charm.

I prefer dust personally, I can get rid of it easily, not so hot 
pixels.
So what are using to get rid of the dust ?
I just returned from 3 weeks of holliday with about a 1000 images shot
and lots of lense changing, and there are at least 5 or six clearly
visible dust-spots now  :-(
Any hints appreciated!
TIA, JvW
