Scott,

Remove the filter carefully, clean your sensor with the proper cleaning items and put the filter back in place following the instructions & you'll be good to go for next couple of years.

Hi, what are the proper cleaning items? Asking as my Q-H has some spots on the sensor. I have used Lenspen/Sensorpen successfully on Sony sensors, would it be OK on a Q-H sensor? Or is there something particular required?

JohnK,

I use Photographic Solutions  Swabs and their Eclipse cleaning fluid for all camera types. Type 2 swabs to swipe across the sensor or Type 3 up and down. (Type 3 is for Full Frame sensors)
