Especially since making those motors more agile generally improves IBIS as well.

You're meant to do the actual cleaning indoors in a place with relatively dust-free air.
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoIf you have a bathroom with controllable ventilation, what you can do is turn the ventilation to low, then run the shower so hot the air fills with steam, then stop the shower and wait until the steam settles and the humidity is "safe" for your electronics. Then you will have really clean air. If you're super diligent, do it in your underwear, and bring your camera into the room in a closed ziploc bag before you start, so you can avoid opening the door at all.
- microcolonel 7y agoThat's an excellent method I hadn't considered. > do it in your underwear Or in the nude, if we're finally post-Victorian.
