I need my DSLR sensor cleaned.

[brandongreen]

My sensor on my Pentax k110d is very dirty. Ive tried using the brush on my lens pen and a blower however the stuff is not coming off. Ive tried searching on the net but it all leads to someone wanting you to buy their product. Does anyone here have any home remedies to my problem?

Brandon,

I use a cleaner as sold by Pentax and it works wonders!!! It's called the O-ICK1 cleaning kit.

Good luck!

Especially if the camera is still under warranty, get it professionally cleaned... Just not worth the risk in my opinion.

Is K110D is certainly not under warranty... since it been discontinued for some time now...

I was sckeptical about putting this sticky orange tipped stick on the sensor, but it's really not freaky once you do it the first time... I have even cleaned other cameras using this technique. Pentax techs uses that cleaning kit too!

the trick is too apply only the weight of the stick on the sensor and not too press more than that!
