Hi,

i take good care of my cameras, so i dont need a cleaning very often and usually the incam cleaning do the job. In the past i made use of payd service if it was needed. but...

i've just bought an NX20 at a very good price and in very good condition but with some dust on the sensor. I dont like the idea of part with the newcomer right now so i wondering if some here did the job itself and if any damage was ever done during that job.

In past i've seen pictures of sensor heavily damaged by a wrong cleaning operation and i wonder how sensible can be a modern samsung sensor.

Thank you all

I use a blower first and then swabs as has been suggested. I had to clean my sensor when I was shooting the falls because I made the mistake of using a non weather sealed lens.. and changed lens even though I thought it wasn't too bad.. left it pretty bad.

Just take your time and be patient with the cleaning and it works fairly well. You shouldn't need much pressure. The swabs usually come with a cleaning solution. I actually keep a couple in my bag with a small thing of solution, just in case.
