Image Sensors – Part 2
Dust is a big enemy of digital camera photos, as it can stick to the sensor and block light.
To avoid it ...
- turn the camera off when changing the lens as more dust is attracted to a sensor that has power
- always use the body cap for your camera when there is no lens on the camera
- when changing the lens, avoid holding the camera facing up; face down so there is less chance of something falling into the camera
- avoid changing a lens in windy conditions, especially if dusty out
