    Hello,

    I have to clean my camera sensor. Have no idea how to do that.

    I live on a asland with no por to do this for me.

    Blowers are not helping in this case as the dirt is stuck, a small spot but is is visible in the filmed footage.

    Hoping o some good advice.

    If it’s inside the lens assembly or on the CMOS, CCD, etc. then you have to send it in for servicing– and since those areas are supposed to be sealed, it’s probably covered by warranty.

    I have a slightly worse problem, I’m afraid there’s been a slight accumulation of moisture somewhere in my HF-G10 causing a very slight darkening or vignetting in the extreme 4 corners of the image when fully zoomed long. I’m just going to live with it, I guess.
