Sensor Cleaning guide with factory trained technician

Tim brings a wealth of experience to Clean Camera. Formerly a part owner of Peachtree Camera Repair in Georgia, he honed his skills under his father's guidance for years. When his dad retired, Tim decided to relocate to the sunny shores of Florida and launch his own venture. Clean Camera is now his passion project, offering top-tier repair and cleaning services with the same dedication that made Peachtree a trusted name. With factory training from major brands, Tim ensures every job is done right, using specialized tools and techniques to safeguard your valuable equipment.


Sensor cleaning is one of our most sought-after services, and for good reason. Your camera's sensor is the heart of digital imaging, capturing light to create your photos. Over time, particles like dust, pollen, or even oil from the camera's mechanisms can settle on it, leading to unsightly spots or artifacts in your images. These blemishes are especially noticeable in photos with uniform backgrounds, like clear skies or studio shots. Ignoring them can ruin otherwise perfect captures, forcing you to spend hours in post-processing to fix what could have been prevented.


The importance of sensor cleaning cannot be overstated. Regular maintenance not only preserves image quality but also extends the lifespan of your camera. A dirty sensor can lead to inconsistent exposure, reduced sharpness, and even permanent damage if abrasive particles scratch the surface. By keeping it clean, you ensure reliable performance, especially during critical shoots like weddings, wildlife photography, or travel adventures. At Clean Camera, we emphasize preventive care—think of it as a routine check-up for your gear, much like servicing your car to avoid breakdowns.


So, when should you consider sensor cleaning? Look for telltale signs in your photos: dark spots that appear in the same place across multiple images, particularly at smaller apertures like f/16 or higher. If you've been shooting in dusty environments, such as beaches, construction sites, or during pollen season, it's wise to schedule a cleaning sooner. Even if you use protective filters, sensors aren't immune—changing lenses frequently increases the risk. We recommend professional sensor cleaning every 6-12 months for active photographers, or immediately if you notice issues.
