•
Be sure not to turn off the camera while cleaning the CMOS sensor. If the power
is turned off, the shutter will close and you might damage the shutter curtain with
the blower.
•
Do not use a blower brush. The brush can scratch the CMOS sensor.
•
Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If the
power goes out, the shutter curtain will close and the blower tip may damage it.
•
Do not use a high-pressure blower or compressed, canned air. The air’s extra
pressure may damage the CMOS sensor or the gas in the can may freeze the
CMOS sensor surface.
