No. The brush should never be spun on the sensor. The reason for spinning the brush is to re-establish the charge over the bristles and to clean off any residual debris that may have been left after the last cleaning. Hope this helps. I like Visible Dust, but LensPen is much easier to use. Tina At 01:42 PM 9/1/2007, you wrote: >My M8 sensor needs to be cleaned. I bought a >cleaning kit from Visible Dust.
