  • Hey, I accidently touched the sensor with the tip of the blower. It doesn't look like there is any damage, but i can see a half circle on the sensor itself and a barely smudge on a photo of a white page. is this fixable?

  • @drakonaf I can't confidently answer that question. I'm not sure how sensitive the sensor is to damage. I recommend calling your local Nikon retailer and telling them your situation and see what they think.

  • Was the camera on while you were blowing the sensor?

  • @lg123xyz Yes, because it must be on in order to enable the mirror lock-up mode.

  • does this also work on a normal D70?

  • @TheBrentieman yes, all you need to do is get it into mirror lock up mode.

  • Does the Nikon Clean itself? Crazy question I know-sorry but "Clean image sensor" is also listed. Then if you click it as, "clean now" or "clean at: startup, shutdown, or both"

    Just a little confused, If I should try your method or click, "clean now". Sorry, I'm a newbee and trying to learn stuff. My luck, I wreak my camera!

  • Thanks for posting this!

    pbriscoe...you rock, been reading tons of pages on how to fix my camera...I was having picture-after-picture show up with black dots on all pics. I learned from day 1 that it was probably my sensor, I had 'toyed' with sending it to a professional to clean but thought I'd try it myself. tried it a dozen times and the dots still appeared - and i mean for months and time after time - Glad that I have photoshop tired of editing tons of dots out of my pics
