With a little care it is no problem. http://www.photosol.com/store/pc/home.asp I use their "Brush Off, Eclipse Fluid and Sensor Swabs. The swab size you want for the M8 is #1. There are good videos available from the page to showthe process/technique too Things to be aware of are to ensure that your camera battery has a good charge and use the menu selection for sensor inspection, never B setting, never apply direct pressure to the sensor coverglass with anything other than a correctly used swab, ensure visible grit is removed first with brush before using swab Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 3 April 2012 06:18, Jean-Michel Mertz <j2m46 at hotmail.fr> wrote: > > > > > Hello everyone,Dark spots have appeared on my pictures (again) and the > time has come for me to clean my M8 sensor.
