   Okay, now, why are you trying to defend yourself by throwing in silly facts? Rocket Blower have two openings; one at top of the red tip and one on bottom in middle of the fins. Two holes keeps the suction pressure low, which doesn’t take time sucking air. Read your camera user’s manual and $20 says it will say “use a blower”. End of story.

   for the knock down of this discussion, how to clean the blower?
   Basicly with a blower your rushing dust in and out of it (the dust collector below the sensor saves the day)

   Yes, most of the latest air compressors have a filter installed that absorbs the moisture by dehumidifying the air.

   If you are not sure if your air compressor have a dehumidifier, please refer to your user’s manual for cleaning instructions.

   New air compressors aren’t cheap anymore and not exactly portable if you are shooting out in the field. That explains why a blower is a smart move.

   Uhm, okay, nitrogen is a no no but oil is okay with you? Of course, no, it is not. You do not want nitrogen or oil on your sensor; use a blower or air compressor instead for completely dry air without any liquid.

   @Lilkiwiguy87 If you use an air compressor you may have inside the condensate that comes with the air. clean the lungs before cleaning.

   @iSpinify Get a lint catch screen from a dryer, put a lamp under a glass table, wipe the glass table top with alcohol, then tap the lint screen over the glass. Using a bulb blower try to clear the dust on alcohol dries.

   There’s your reason why “wet” cleanings don’t always work.

   Im concerned about using the compressor, because it uses oil for oiling the inner of the system via spraying it inside, its not alot almost vapore size but still can accumulate into a problem, it might also spit if a bad system is used!

    If you are talking about air compressor (small machine used for flat tires or airbrushing), yes, you could, as long as it is 125 PSI maximum.

    If you are talking about compressed air can (aka keyboard duster), it’s a big NO because it contains nitrogen. If it spits nitrogen onto the lowpass filter, it will leave a severe stain that won’t come off unless you pay Nikon up front to have it replaced.

    I suppose using compressed air is a no no?

    The only thing I’m concered about this tut is the brush. Isn’t there a possibility that it may get tiny, minute scratches onto the sensor?

    Also, how come you don’t use the “wet” method for cleaning sensors like using the E2/E1. They work most of the time.

    If you are not joking about getting dust in your eye, remain calm, find a small cup (like a shot cup), fill it with warm water, place the opening of the cup on your eye. Keep your eye open underwater for at least 5 minutes to rinse the dust off.

    There are a lot of videos waiting to be filmed, so, please be patient. The Picture Control only apply to JPEG’s and RAW’s only with Capture NX2. Lightroom lacks built-in camera profiles, so, it stays dull.

    So I faced the camera down like you said, but now I’ve got a ton of dust in my eye…

    Thanks for your brilliant videos — keep ‘em coming.

    If you’ve err… nothing to do, I’d really appreciate seeing your take on the Picture Control functions in Nikon cameras/ software. I’m okay setting them up and adjusting them in camera (I think), but then getting VewNX to believe me, never mind Lightroom, is another sorry story.

    Again, thank you so much for all of your generous work.
