You may think that cleaning your digital camera sensor is a job for a brain surgeon. Actually it isn’t, though it does require some knowledge and not a little skill.

Christopher Breen of MacWorld has written a great How To piece on this subject: ‘When you switch lenses on your SLR, it’s possible for the camera to collect small specks of dust on the sensor—the light-sensitive silicon chip that samples incoming light. Even without changing lenses, you can collect dust when shooting in dry, dusty environments. These bits of dust manifest themselves as tiny (and sometimes, not-so-tiny) spots on your pictures.’
