The number one tip. Don't change lenses in dusty environments. One reason superzooms are popular.
Is there not a contradiction in your presentation where you stated at the start that you would use the compressed air on the outside of the camera, and "not on the inside, that's for sure' and then proceeded to use it on the inside? My own view is that using compressed air inside the camera is risky due to the possibility of liquid being sprayed as well and the powerful air jet forcing dirt further into the camera body.
What if you’ve got a “black spot” INSIDE the lens that the blower brush doesn’t dislodge?
Is there a best aperture to test if I e gotten all of the dust out? Does wide open aperture harder to see dust spots? Or should I stop down to f14 and then check a sample shot?
I had some dust in my camera sensor. Luckily I got it out with just the rocket blower.
Love your content, detailed, thorough, no gimmics and just perfect for new beginners like myself. Thank you.
Hi Markgreat video. Whats the best way to clean the mirror in my DSLR? thanks
Wow. Thank you. It worked! I actually used a cotton swab which I knew might be a risk, but it worked! My camera had the black dots and I tried cleaning it before. I did not know that I needed to lock/close the lens to access the screen. Thanks for your help.
It really helps to turn your camera off when changing lenses. Also make sure lenses are clean, and if you have a zoom, that the barrel of the lens is dust free, as when the lens moves in and out, it can pull dust into the body.
Very useful!
