lense and sensor cleaning
Mar 5, 2013 00:55:19 #
does anyone have any advice or tips on the following cleaning areas: 1 cleaning lenses 2 drying lenses: i live in a humid region and often when i take a lense out of its case it 'foggs up' and because of the humidity, is very hard to dry. 3 cleaning the sensor. cleaning gear is something i should do more often but it is usually 'forgotten' in the enthusiasm to get out and take photos...

Yes
Use the "search" facility above for sensor cleaning then lens cleaning, discussed many times

What was that all about? The member gave you very good advise so that you can sift through the posts and get the information the way you need it, rather than us typing out AGAIN for the umpteenth time information that is already here. Perhaps the member could have sweetened his words a little more or held your hand while he led you step by step to the posts that had the information., but that would also be demeaning. I will now get off my soapbox.

would hate to have to 'bother' anyone to write it out again! why not just answer the question or not..do you really need to use this forum as a diciplinary outlet? no-one is forcing you to answer anthing

In fact the way to learn is to look for yourself, I still use a dictionary and read books and have brought my three disabled sons up who all have learning difficulties (as a single father) to try for themselves first then ask for help

Talking about sensor cleaning, I wet cleaned my Nikon 1 V1 for the first time. The sensor is really small but it is just the width of the sensor swab II. Almost exactly the same width, as if made for that sensor (it is made for the DX sensor). Different experience, no mirror, just the sensor out there to clean.

Why
Was it really in need of cleaning
I know too many people to mention who have been into digital photography since it began and have owned many many cameras, we worry too much these days about the slightest speck of dust or shutter counts
Never have I ever heard anyone ask how many times can I use my lens before the motor dies, what is the motors life what is the life expectancy of the iris blades or motor or the IS/VR unit
Sheesh..
Forget the specks and shutter counts, in film days you were supposed to have the camera serviced every year who did.

I use the dedicated Nikkor 1 lens and the FT Mount with DX and FX nikon lens on the V1. Using F25 or above, two very large dust spots appeared. not specs. Tried to get away with rocket blower and Artic Butterfly but had to wet clean in the end. Came out great.

Can happen, unlucky, I have never cleaned a sensor ever and never needed to

I often throw a dictionary AND a thesaurus at my kids. Once in while my aim is good and hits them in the head.
Or go to the library or even (heaven fobid) 'google' it.
'So many dickheads make unnecessary comments on this site' and you fit right in.

Just saying you can post a question here and get a page of answers but if you do a search of the topic you may get 50 pages and may find a better answer to your question. there are so many topics that seem to come up every couple of days, and i'm sure people get tired of typing in the same info all the time so you may not get the answer your looking for unless you also do a search. Doing a search is a common answer as some topics have been beaten to death but they still show up
