                                                       Cleaning Your DSLRs

For every DSLR photographer it is nightmare to clean it. For me it went to worse. Being average photographer it took some time to clean my DSLR Nikon D7000. Giving some tips so that you not to repeat my mistakes. 

1. After click in small screen of DSLR , it is very hard to notice the dark black spots  which occur same place in every photo. So always check out in big LCD screen like monitor or TV if it is really black dark spot of dust or some other thing. 
2. Now sit in clean place which don't have dust and remove the lense. Try to clean the mirrors with blower and brush gently. Connect back lense and take photos of blue sky. Set camera in aperture priority 'A' with 10 to 12 and take some photos of sky.
3. If still dust appears then this time you have to clean your camera sensor. There are lot of youtube videos and blogs how to expose sensor. Once you see sensor the use Tornado blower and remove dust particles. After doing this take some photos and see results.
4. Lastly , you need to buy some swabs and sensor cleaning liquid. Again clean the sensor with swabs , wait for few 30 seconds and use blower to remove dust. It should work this time.

In my case I had small blower which was ineffective so I had to order tornado blower which removed all dust in one turn.Swab did not help me must as dust particles were moving from one corner to other every time I cleaned it. But as said you have to keep trying. There are some stores which take $100 for cleaning sensor. If you are not sure then better to visit local DLSR selling center to get it cleaned.
