I seem to be getting real good at getting
junk on my sensor. In fact I think there
should be section here on UHH about
sensor junk.
So I'm thinking that my dogs maybe behind
all the hairs and other stuff that find there
way to the edge of my sensor.
I was thinking of using one of those computer
keyboard vacuums to just lighty clean out
the inside of my camera.
What do you folks thing?

Did a search in this site and found this thread:

Might be a good candidate for the FAQ Nikonian is putting together.

Could get rid of the "Senors" from heading. Then work on your sensors.

I know what you mean about dog hair. We have three pugs, and they are famous for their shedding. We have to keep taking the vacuum cleaners apart and cleaning out their insides.

The less you remove the lens, the less junk will get inside. So, here's what you do. Buy a camera body for every lens - no more lens removal! Then you can get a good backpack and harness sytem to carry your cameras when you go out to shoot. That's what I plan to do - someday.

When I remove the lens to change lenses, I do so with the body upright, as in the shooting position. This minimizes the ability for dust to get into the camera.

Laying the camera on it's back to change lenses just invites dust into the camera.

Diet,
What ever you do, do not use the vacuum. Buy one of the Rocket Blaster squeeze bottles they work fine. If that does not do it pay to get it cleaned. Then keep your dogs away from the camera, easier said than done. LOL OH and I have cats too.

I think if your lens stays on the camera like it always should, none of that junk should be getting inside your camera at all. If your lens is on all the time, any crack large enough for that crap to get in is also a crack large enough for unwanted light to be getting in there and ruining your exposures too.

It turns out the junk was on the inside of the eye piece and not on the sensor.
thanks for the help.

I just seem like that would have been the right way to go. Just suck out all the bad air and dust. But I guess not.

Eyelashes?- from you or you dogs?
You shouldn't let your dogs use the cameras if they don't clean them.

Yes about the puppies. I even have to deal with dogs coming up and kissing the front of my lens.
