may have to be done repeatedly and it is very tricky. Too little fluid
and you don’t get it all, too much and it leaves a residue. No fun at
all folks.
If all of the above do not work, you will have to send the camera to
the manufacturer. The above is a very general description of the
process and is not definitive. You must refer to your camera manual
for precise instructions. I cannot be responsible for errors you might
make in attempts to clean your sensor. Use the procedures listed
above at your own risk. Before doing anything please read this
excellent article on sensor cleaning by expert photographer Thom

Shower Cap
Buy one of those inexpensive plastic shower caps with an elastic
band in them for rain protection for your camera. They take up
almost no space and are totally useful if your camera and lenses
get caught in a rainstorm. Just put them over the camera and lens
while you get wet. You do not want to get your camera and lenses
soaked. Period.
Camera Vests
I have them but don’t use them. If I need that many pockets I am
taking too much stuff with me. Walking around with a zillion pockets
full of stuff is something I have done plenty of in third-world
countries where if you don’t carry everything, it gets stolen. Pocket-
loaded vests are no fun and I really like to travel ultra-light.
Photo Software
We could write a book about photography software and many
people have. All I am going to do here is briefly tell you what I use.
There are many simple programs for processing digital photos and
Adobe Elements is one that will do quite a lot and is inexpensive.
However, most photographers use Adobe Photoshop and/or Adobe
Lightroom.
