DSLR Sensor Cleaning - Co Laois

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but having searched I can't find anything obvious!

    My DSLR Sensor has picked up a big piece of dust that the ultrasonic shake isn't clearing, so it needs a clean. I am in Laois, and confined to public transport. Is there anywhere reasonably local that anyone knows that does this, or is it a trip to Dublin?

    Cheers

    It's easy to clean yourself - just invest in some good cleaning gear:
    • Hurricane blower (use before "wet" cleaning)
    • Quality Swabs
    • Quality Sensor cleaning Fluid
    • and an illuminated Loupe so can see what you are cleaning!
    • Always: Start with a fully charged battery (most cameras won't let you access the sensor cleaning Mode otherwise)
    • Always: use the Correct Sensor cleaning mode from the tools Menu.
    • Never: Use a long exposure of Bulb or T setting - for two reasons. Firstly the shutter could accidentally close on the swab and destroy the shutter. Secondly, the sensor will have a charge going to it which makes it harder to clean.

    Load of videos on You Tube on how to do it.
