I just cleaned mine because I had a bad blotch of dust. I bought the ac adapter and used a baby syringe to clean the ccd. It worked perfectly.
 
Hi
What is the baby syringe method?
Thanks,

I just followed the directions in the manual and instead of using a brushless puffer (which I didn't have) I bought a baby syringe, which does the same thing: shoot air. Now, if I had noticed dust all over the sensor I probably would have used the swab method, but only after a pass with the baby syringe.

--Matt, can you pose a pic of that thing !!
I have no idea what that is

I never fully understood why I need an AC adapter.
Can't I just clean with "B" pressed on?

with the adaptor, you can set the camera to "CCD cleaning". The CCD
won't be charged (at least, I think), so no static, no sticking
dust.
In "B" mode, the CCD is charged, and dust sticks to the sensor.
---Exactly. You need an ac adaptor so the ccd isn't charged. I can't post a picture of it until much later -- it's a common baby ear syringe you can get at any drugstore. If you have a brushless puffer that will work too.
