Hurroz, on my last post of some airshow pix, fellow users pointed out major dust bunnies that i completely missed. I did the cleaning, plus used some dinky blower and got rid of the 3 major spots. Now that i know what to look for, i did a check and found one idiotic bunny who refuses to hop away. Whats the best course of action? Would this swiss blower i keep reading about get it off? Do i need to get it serviced? If the latter applies, how much is the cleaning service and how long do they take ah? Thanks in advance Jon |

I think you better not do it , send in to Sony Service Centre . Sometimes the counter will clean them for you on the spot if they can . Otherwise then you decide to send in for cleaning or not . |

I did my own swap as per your link and clean the sensor using Pec*Pads™ and Eclipse™. For me is a hassle to bring it to SSC for cleaning. You can buy both Pec*Pads™ and Eclipse™ from CP. |
