My experience of cleaning sensors by vibrating the sensor isn't great - I don't recall it shifting any visible spots of dust/debris. Perhaps it's more effective on some models, I imagine those with IBIS have the advantage here.
For me, swabbing the sensor (of my D500) a couple of times a year is the only solution.
- ricc 7y agoProbably vibrating the sensor works with tiny invisible specks but I agree that swabbing is the only solution for those big enough to be visible in pictures. My previous camera (Canon 700D) survived about 2 years w/o swabbing because I was very careful when changing lenses. Once I got thoughtless while changing (left the body open for too long while it was windy), the sensor vibration never had a chance.
- ISL 7y agoBefore swabbing, consider blowing off the dust with a little squeezy blower.
- hcarvalhoalves 7y agoThe sensor-shake works better after you leave the camera in a low humidity ambient for a while.
