I used a UES sensor cleaning kit and it says on the bottle that he liquid is based on purified water and is alcohol free. It did not look like my attempts to wipe the sensor with swag with cleaning liquid affected the spots at all. Could the moisture really get under the sensor glass? Is that possible?

That's highly unlikely. Probably the water-based liquid isn't strong enough (still it has to be designed for sensors).

I wonder if you are turning the camera off before changing the lenses. It should automatically close the shutter and protect the sensor from things like that.

If it’s on surface it should come off with a slightly damp sensor wipe with eclipse or isopropyl , might be sea salt residue.

Perhaps mist the sensor by lightly breathing on it to see if they are on its surface.

If they are underneath, I would say that’s not your fault and exchange it.

I think it got much better after this water-based clean... I will try with the alcohol-based liquid next.

I really should turn it off before changing lenses I guess...

Thx for the tips!
