how do I clean the sensor of a NIkon D70?

Answer 1

OH, that's a difficult question.
Please don't try to clean the sensor yourself, if you camera is under the warrenty then send it to the manufacturer.

Otherwise, there is a sensor cleaning soft brush available, but i can't remember where I saw it. Try googling it.

Once you ruin the sensor, no one can help you except nikon but they will charge you fortune. I used to work for a photographic comapny and that's what we used to recommend to the customers NOT TO TRY CLEANING IT YOURSELF. Even a very soft brush you use, it can still damage the sensor, there is a special cleaning brush for it. The best would be to contact nikon and find out.

Answer 2

how did you get it dirty in the first place ?
When you remove a lens, unless it's during an exposure, what you'll see is the mirror and at the top, the screen for the viewfinder.
To clean the sensor you would need to lock the mirror up (or set it to Bulb exposure. Hopefully you can vacuum it without touching it and it will remove the dust that's causing you a problem.
if you have a spec of dust on the sensor and vacuuming does not remove it. you may be able to run the sensor calibration so that if a pixel is always dark, it can replace it by an average of the pixels around so it's less visible.
Do not try to brush anything, even the mirror or the screen.
