Avoid camera sensor cleaning mistakes: Don't use your mouth

When cleaning a camera's internal sensor, avoid blowing directly on it with your mouth, as saliva can cause difficult-to-remove stains that appear in all photographs. Modern cameras often have a built-in sensor cleaning feature that uses vibrations to dislodge dust. If this is insufficient, a rocket blower can be used to direct bursts of air, with the camera sensor pointed downwards to allow gravity to assist in removing particles. AI
