Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the swabs, ensure your camera battery is fully charged. Mirrorless cameras and DSLRs alike require a stable power source to keep the sensor plane exposed; if the camera turns off mid-cleaning, the shutter mechanism could damage the swab or the sensor. Always perform cleaning in a well-lit, low-dust environment, such as a clean desk or a room with minimal airflow. Store the unopened swabs in a cool, dry place and keep them in their original packaging until the exact moment of use to maintain their integrity. Dispose of the swab immediately after a single use; never attempt to re-clean a sensor with a used swab, as this may reintroduce contaminants or oils back onto the sensor.
