Hmm. Given the distance involved, this is only possible if your tongue
is of the retrofocus design.

Try to locate a good watchmaker/repairer they have
de=greasing techniques for delicate mechanisms.

I did offer solutions to this about a year ago.

Simply remove the lens and lock the mirror up. Extend your tongue and
gently apply saliva to the entire surface of the sensor (releasing the
mirror lockup at this point would be a BAD IDEA) When the surface is
sufficiently salivered, withdraw tongue and hope for the best.

Hi,

bought a packet ofthose wet swabbs "sensor Cleaners" called 'Green Clean'

did the best job I have ever seen.. My canon 20D originaly had to have
the sensor replaced by canon, under warranty, becuse they Could not get
specs out that had gon under the covering glass high pass filter.

If the 'item' is on top, then these wet cleaners seem to work wonders,
when used as directed...

Regards

Sandy

I had the same result [canned air residue] with my Pentax. I sent it to the
service folk 'cause I cbf cleaning it with swabs & stuff. It pays to be
careful with canned air to the point of not even using it. As mentioned,
use a manual bulb blower thing - they are good I believe.
Good luck
Jock

I'll refrain from the obvious. Send the camera to Nikon in Melville or
El Segundo, pay what they ask, and don't DO that anymore.

Or better yet, go to any camera store and buy one of the cheap sensor
cleaning kits with methanol fluid and swipes (around $35-50 depending
on kit). Hopefully the methanol will get the gunk off the sensor. You
may have to clean it a few times if the gunk is really nasty.

Read up on sensor cleaning first at a site like this:
