Green packaged magic Scotch tape is mentioned as a way to lift dust off a sensor without leaving residue, on a blog site or two. I know it sounded too simple, but I was without anything else and my attemps using other methods left more junk on the sensor than I started with. I took a short length of it and using a brush simply layed it on the sensor, much like brushing on wall paper and then lifted it off. I have done it a couple of time since. Again, I am not recommending it, because I can't say for sure that some damage might not result, but it seems to work for me. <span class='jfriedl'>Personally, I'd rather just use part of my T-shirt before I'd use tape, but that's just me. In a pinch I've used compressed air before (which itself can be fraught with danger), but I can't possibly imagine using tape. —Jeffery</span> Hi Jeffrey: Regarding cleaning sensors: I’m not recommending this, but out of despiration on a trip out of the country I tried something for cleaning the sensor that seemed to work very well.
