Nice upgrade. I have the physical shutter close when I power off. Only way it is going to get any exercise
I have not had to wet clean my A1 sensor yet. In the same time period my A9 would have needed multiple wet cleans. I don’t know if it is due to the shutter closing or the new built in cleaning. I have used the ultrasonic feature built into the camera and a blower on the A1 occasionally.

Thanks for your input. I've read somewhere that even closing the shutter at power off, dust may be sticked to it and after powering the camera again, the shutter will open and the dust will get into the sensor chamber inevitably. Hmmm. But I suspect that the sensor must have some kind of electrostatic attraction that the mechanical shutter does not. Just my uninformed opinion. I'll activate the closing option. It does not hurt in any case, being careful swapping lenses of course. After all if it avoids access to some particles inside it, it will be fine.
