How to Clean your Camera Sensor using a Brush and Air Blower

For this process you will need both a Nylon Sensor Brush and an Air Blower.

This is a great way of cleaning your sensor and is very quick and easy.

  • Firstly you need to blow air onto the nylon brush on both sides.
  • This will create static on the brush.
  • You should then turn your camera upside down.
  • Now you can gently brush on the sensor and the static on the burns will pick up the dust.

This will remove the dust off of the camera in most circumstances and is very easy to do. 

One thing to note when doing this is that the brush needs to be high quality and is not something to buy cheap. Me and my Dad (Nigel Danson) have created our own perfect sensor brush so you can clean your camera without worrying about the quality of the brush damaging it.

This is because you need a brush which the bristles do not fall out of and are very soft, this is because otherwise you could scratch your sensor or have brush bristles stuck on your sensor. Therefore having a high quality brush is important, we have ensured our brush is of great quality and will stop any of this occurring.

There’s a typo in the last bullet of sensor brush description…."Now you can gently brush on the sensor and the static on the BURNS will pick up the dust. "
