Camera Sensor Cleaning FAQs
How do I know if my camera needs a sensor cleaning?
A reliable way to check is to look for spots or blemishes that repeat in the same location across multiple photos. You can test this by photographing a plain white surface at a small aperture (such as f/16–f/22). If you’d like, DCW can help you confirm whether your camera needs a sensor clean.
Is sensor cleaning safe?
Sensor cleaning is safe when performed by an experienced technician using the proper tools and techniques. While DIY cleaning is possible, there is a risk of damaging the sensor’s delicate surface if done incorrectly. Our service uses specialised, non-abrasive tools and sensor-safe cleaning solutions to ensure a thorough and safe clean.
What steps can I take to keep my camera sensor clean?
If you use your camera regularly, some dust risk is unavoidable — but these steps can help minimise it:
- Change lenses quickly in a clean, dust-free environment.
- Keep the body cap on when no lens is attached.
- Store your camera and lenses in a sealed camera bag when not in use.
- Point your camera down when swapping lenses to reduce dust entering the body.
- Use a rocket blower to gently remove loose dust before considering a professional clean.
