1DS MKII cleaning

Eddy

Hello All:
Last night sitting down after the hockey game trying to clean the dust out of my camera.I did enough to get most of it out, but some stubborn specs really dont wont to leave my camera. After each wipe with pec pads and the Arctic butterfly..still nothing. i did take the screen out (focusing) washed it in mild soap water and lint free cloth, looking through the camera befors installining the screen, there are specs there..any idea how to get them out.. reason for this is some show up on my macro shots.
Thanks\\Regards

You may have to persist to get the most stubborn specs off the sensor. You may try leaving the moist pad in contact with the stickiest specs for a few seconds, just to try to keep a localized high-moisture condition which might help to loosen the gunk.

Just make sure that no drops develop which could run between the AA filter and the sensor. Otherwise yes, moderate pressure may be required for particularly gunky material. Multiple passes and new pads are greatly preferable to any strong pressure however.
