Sensor cleaning
Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to clean their own sensor. My Canon camera has a smear on the sensor and I can't get it clean. Beginning to think I'll have to get it cleaned professionally.
Anyone with experience of this?

Does the smear show up in the photographs? If not it may be the mirror thats smeared.
A sensor cleaning kit should cure the problem if its actually on the sensor ,whatever you do don't use cotton buds BUT you could try using a lint cleaning wipe from a kit on the end of a cotton bud.
I invested in a kit which comes with lint pads- fluid- button sticks and wipe pads as well as having a rocket air blaster.
