For some of you, you will probably say, 'no big deal' or 'well duh'... But, I haven't had my camera for too long and my kids and I went fishing, and took the camera along, etc. Well, somehow I got dust on my sensor.
I was very nervous about cleaning it, checked out all types of cleaning kits online and read the manual on how to clean it, etc. We don't have a real camera store here in town, and the local W~M didn't have anything but canned air. I've seen some threads about canned air where some say 'they use it' and some that say, 'NEVER', which only added to my nervousness.
I used some canned air, with much care, making sure no liquid would come out while spraying, etc. But being that careful, I couldn't get the force of air necessary to blow the dust off. So, referring to the manual once again, I started looking around the house for what could be used in the place of the blower bulb shown in the manual...
A Mustard Bottle! :thumbup: Clean, obviously, never been used, but none the less, a mustard bottle saved the day!
Below, you can see the dust on the picture and then the Mustard Bottle :hail:
