Re: Obstruction in shot - does NX1000 need cleaning?

Actually, 1st, does the NX1000 have a sensor cleaning feature where it vibrates the sensor or whatnot in an attempt to remove dust? I'm not sure if it does, NX300 does. If the NX1000 does, then try that 1st. Then try shaking the camera face down just in the air before banging it on anything. Only after that try banging it lightly face down. Then the rocket blower. I would not recommend a screwdriver at all, there are some liquid cleaners for sensors that can be used when something is still sticking to it. Digital Rev has a video on this topic that may also be helpful, or maybe just amusing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gouSOlgvQg0
