(2) Have you tried gently blowing air on the sensor while holding the front of the camera facing downward? I use one of those bulb cleaners. I also blow out the chamber before opening up the sensor for cleaning. Use of a wet swab (I use Eclipse) is tricky with the M, IMO, because you need to be really careful not to touch the side of the chamber when sticking the swab in to clean the sensor. If you touch a side of the chamber you can easily pick up dirt/grease that can scratch/smear your sensor glass. I've done it but it takes 2 or three times (new swab each time) for most grease spots... Good luck, Bob Sent from my iPad On Sep 17, 2012, at 10:14 AM, Robert Baron <robertbaron1 at gmail.com> wrote: > (1) Am I correct in understanding that when I see a spot on the lower left > hand side of an image, when I take off the lens and activate 'sensor > cleaning' the offending particle will be at the upper right hand side of > the sensor as I look at it? > > (2) Does anyone have any experience - good or bad - with pre-moistened > Sensor Swab Plus swabs? > > Thanks, > > --Bob > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
