 p.1 #2 · Sensor Cleaning Fluid... | |
What you're after is a solution that is compatible with the Indium Tin Oxide coating used on the low pass filter that covers the sensor. The problem is with the Indium. I believe Visible Dust's Sensor Clean is okay, but you should double check it. I know for sure that a) the Eclipse E2 solution is okay, and b) the original Eclipse solution is NOT okay.
As for tips on sensor cleaning... I use the orange swaps from Visible Dust with good results. The green swabs presented major problems for me, but I haven't tried the redesigned green swabs that were made specifically for the Nikon D3. The problem with the green swabs: the material shreds very easily and you wind up with lots (and lots) of white particles (ie "dust") on your sensor.
Other suggestions:
1) use the VD Artic Butterfly
2) use the VD 7X magnifying loupe
3) use a VERY light touch with the swab
4) be patient. You made need several passes, and several swabs, before it's clean.
One other tip... Do a search here and at dpreview. There are lots of posts on this topic.
Good luck.
