the tutorial helps a lot, but i’ve got some really stubborn pieces of dust or something on the sensor.
after blowing air at the sensor, it reduced the dust spots, but there are still a lot of dots.
what do i do now?
That really helped cheers!!
thx a lot man!
I am very impressed with your presentation. You look very young, yet sound like a mature teacher teacher. There’s a very calming aura about you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

nice vid, thanks a lot
Thank you both for your answers. I got the camera already, and found a blower in the store too. There was only one brand, it sort of looks like the one in the video. I’m not American, and that Giotto one couldn’t be shipped to where I live from anywhere online. The one from the store will hopefully do the job. Having a great time with the camera meanwhile.
Thanks again!
Yes the ultrasonic image “shaker” does work but sometimes you’ll get a speck of something in there that it can’t shake off.
The worst time of year for this around here is now, the springtime, whith so much tree pollen in the air.
For a good source of blowers like the Giotto Rocket, check out B&H in New York or Calumet Photo (I think) in Chicago.

Mr. Briscoe,
The idea to hang the camera upside down by a tripod is really clever.
So simple yet ingenious. Nice.

i dont know where you can get one but the internal cleaning systems wont do the job they just help a little
with the help of this vide, i just cleaned my nikon for the first time and the big spot is gone. pbriscoe, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
hey thanks for the help man.. great job. d60 i have and saw dust on the sensor. now i know how to clean it myself. thanks!
I was wondering if anyone could answer me a little question…
“The Nikon D60 comes equipped with the innovative Image Sensor Cleaning function and Nikons exclusive Airflow Control System.”
Do these features do anything at all, or will the regular cleanings still be necessary? We don’t have Nikon shops where I live, only regular electronics ones. Also, if so, I have no idea where I’d get that kind of blower. Could you point me to one I can order online please?
Thank you!
thanks - as you can see from the reviews you did a GREAT service to humankind. Oh, and you helped me out as well - thanks man!
Great job on this. I can actually hear you speak, and you took the time to put up some lighting, which a lot of amateur YouTubers don’t do. Great effort and great info!
do you think its ok to use vacuum cleaner with special dust filters to do that?
hey! thanks a lot on how to do it. its in the manual tho but didnt have the courage to actualy do it. thanks!
No, its quite low actually. I bought my d70 used with 15000 shutter actuation’s.
i just spit in it, works for meh!
Brother, I have no word to tnak you. Thank you very much for the tutorial. I must say, I owe you something. God bless you.

I let my cat lick it off.
i usually scrape the dust off of my sensor with my house keys or car keys
Very, very handy, my man — I was about to give up my D200 for a week to a professional cleaner (and spend a ridiculous amount) to remove a few specks of dust. Many thanks…
Thanks a lot buddy !! You helped me out with my D200. Cheers!
that was funny
