rivi1969 Posted April 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening, Last week I took some pictures of the bright sky with no clouds with my M8 and I discover a lot of dirt spots on the files. I have the liquid and brush to clean my Sony A7 so I wonder if it is safe to perform the operation myself or if the CCD sensor requires a different product or procedure. I don't want to send my camera six months to Leica for that. Thank you in advance, Ricardo Welcome, dear visitor!

romanus53 Posted April 24, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 24, 2018 looks quiet normal to me, use a dust-blower, no canned air. Most of the spots will go, new will come, I use Capture 1 for the rest. Don't worry, enjoy your M8! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duoenboge Posted April 24, 2018 Share #3 Posted April 24, 2018 try this: VisibleDust orange . An blower only is in my experience not enough for this kind of stain. I try a lot of cleaning liquids. This is imo one of the best. But be very very carefully and dont´t use to much of the liquid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted May 1, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 1, 2018 Two drops on edge and wait 15 sec for it to spread. You will need proper width. Clean properly with blower after session with lens changes and problem with stuck particles will be much less. I resorted to canned air with a used D3 that probably was never cleaned. KEEP CAN UPRIGHT AND USE VERY SHORT BLASTS. Did the trick. Today a use my airbrush that has a moisture trap. Air is not cold , somewhat powerful, and works if hand blower does not. Step two is Lighted Loupe and Lens pen. Three is wet and I have not resorted to that for years. Works for any camera, Leica or Nikon and M9.
