Re: Experiences in home cleaning your samsung sensor

Whilst doing research before I started cleaning the sensor on my nx200, I was surprised to find out that some cleaning solutions are not reccommended for certain camera sensors. I was safe with the nx200, however some sensors have a special coating/filter that can be damaged if using a strong/incorrect solvent cleaning solution.

If dust gets in the sensor chamber and finally resides on your sensor due to electromagnetic attraction (static electricity), removing the dust particle as early as possible is reccommended employing the in built camera sensor cleaning method or using a blower. If the dust is allowed to remain on the sensor for a prolonged period of time, temperature and humidity fluctuations bond the dust particle to the sensor as moisture from humidy accumulates. This then requires a solution cleaning approach.

Particulate matter on the sensor is easily observed when the aperture setting is at f22 and a photo of sunny blue sky or strong lighting conditions indoors on white paper. Everything is revealed.
