Air Brush Photography
DSLR …. cleaning, how and when?
I'm trying to learn everything I can on my Nikon D80 as well. Just got it a few months ago and knew nothing about photography from the camera. I read and learn. I wonder when it is recommended to clean the camera? Regularly? Once a month? Not unless you can see spots in the pictures? When cleaning is necessary, how are you and what do you use? I have the kit lens cleaning paper cleaning and brush with air bubbles at one end … what used to clean the inside? I do not think my camera is dirty and I would be very careful to realize, but I feel that it is very important information and I know I can not really find a book which is responsible for me. Thanks.
First, check your manual for maintenance and cleaning apparatus. Find great tips and suggestions. Although are the sensor cleaning kits available, I suggested, and the camera points only when they should do. Are you sure you do not want to use liquid inside the camera. Let a professional do it. Avoid changing lenses in the dust, wind, to minimize the risk of dust on the sensor. Always hold the camera with an attached lens mount down. One thing you need to buy (or not) is a UV filter to protect the objective lens. Chooses Hoya B + W, Singh-Ray, Tiffen, Heliopan. Top the filter is clean the lens, the more the filter will be cheaper to replace. ***** EDIT! ***** Please ignore the proposal "endangeredsavior" on the use of compressed air inside the image. This is an easy way to destroy or damage the camera shutter or mirror or a sensor (or three) and dust and sand driving in areas within the unit that can do real damage. Compressed air for inflating tires and balls basketball air mattresses and beach – not for cleaning the camera.
