So it is true that the 1Ds has the automatic sensor cleaning mechanism. This is great a thing, but eventually dust particles will accumulate. So my question for other 1Ds MIII owners, is What do you use when you have to clean this. On my second body (5D) I have been using Visible Dust Sensor.

Thanks !

sensor brush or arctic butterfly should do the trick

A bulb-blower

Copperhill wet clean on 1dMK3.

The sensor cleaning mechanism is fairly ineffective. Or at least if you change lenses in the field you'll still need to do some manual cleaning... I use a Rocketblower to knock off the more loose particles, and for the tougher particles I use Sensor Swabs with Eclipse fluid. This gets it 100% clean every time.

Thanks Guys,

This is useful, it is not a big deal now, but while doing some landscaping and shooting at higher than F22, I noticed a little of debris so soon or later, i will give it a clean.

BTW, Chris, I just looked at your web site, beautiful work!
