Cleaning the interior of the camera.
Jan 27, 2020 21:00:31 #
I have a Nikon D7500 and noticed that in the view finder there was a spot that did not show up in the pictures. I took the lens off and there was a "particle" on the mirror. I used a rocket blower to get rid of the particle(did the blowing with camera lens mount pointed down). When I examined the inside there is some debris stuck on the fabric lining. Is there a safe way to get rid of this material like a small vacuum cleaner that is safe to use in this area. I want to get rid of this stuff before it gets on my sensor. Thanks!!

My 2 cents, leave it to a professional camera repair place.

Yes, blowing into the camera can dislodge more dust particles! Just wet-clean the sensor with a kit.

If the rocket blower won't blow the dust off the sensor. Might need to clean it with special equipment that you can do yourself. Never used a vacuum though. My Canon 80D never had nothing. The 5DMIV full frame gets lots of dust just by the bigger sensor size. GOOGLE sensor cleaning and get the one for your sensor size....AP-C, or Full Frame. Follow the directions and you should be fine. There are also places that will do it also for around 50 to 80. I prefer to take care of my equipment myself if I can. And if it its on the mirror and NOT the sensor, even easier. Good luck

They say that if you see one mouse in your house that there are twenty others that you don't see. Considering the amount of debris that you can see in your camera, how much do you think is in there that you can't see? I would send it out for a professional cleaning.

This technique might work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xj1FlL-iAo
However, it might be Canon specific.

Do NOT use canned air!
You'll have no idea where all that dirt crually went.
Shutters and mirrors are actually delicate.
There are wet wipe, q-tip, etc kits that will clean and remove.

Minimum of 100 psi should do it.

dust is remove with a vacuum cleaner , not been blown around .if you have a vacuum cleaner with a hose , remove lens ,hold the hose a inch or 2 from opening , take a couple or more shots at 2 to 3 second exposure , ALL dust inside camera will be gone , including on sensor .then do rear of lens also .you are done .

Keep in mind that some of the debris may not loosen up easily. Chewing gum, cheese curls, pizza crust, can all be hard to dislodge. Before using the air blower it would be best to get things moving by holding the camera, lens opening down, and giving it several good raps with a hammer. At least a 2lb drilling hammer should get the job done!
