If you have been using your Nikon digital camera for a while, you may start to see some spots on your images. These spots are almost always the result of dust getting into your camera body and landing on the sensor in your camera. Since there is no external way to remove dust from your sensors, in order to clean your Nikon, you will have to get under the lens. It might seem risky, but if you are cautious there is no reason you can't clean your camera yourself.
Instructions
Cleaning the Camera
1. Take the lens off your Nikon digital camera. Once the lens is removed, you will be able to see the sensor inside the body of the camera.
2. Blow away loose dust with an air bulb. Using an air bulb creates a less powerful gust than using canned air and will be gentler on your sensor.
3. Use a sensor brush to dust off stubborn dust particles. Sensor brushes are made with very soft bristles to prevent damage to the sensor. Clean the brush after each dusting of the sensor. Canned air will safely remove particles from the sensor brush.
4. Swab the sensor. Sensor swabs are fabric covered and made to clean digital camera sensors without scratching. They must be used with a sensor-cleaning solution, such as Dust Aid. Dip the swab into the solution so that it is saturated but not dripping and use the swab to gently scrub away dirt and debris from the sensor's surface. Premoistened sensor swabs are also available if you prefer an all-in-one cleaning device.
5. Put the lens back on your Nikon and take a test photo. You should photograph something blank, such as a solid-colored wall. Your photo should be free of any unnatural specks. If there are dots on your photo, all of the debris did not get properly removed. Give the camera a second cleaning to remove any residual debris.
