Individual Wrapped 16mm V Shape Microfiber DSLR Camera Cleaning Swab APS-C Sensor Swabs for Precision Cleaning
APS-C sensor swabs are mainly used for cleaning the sensors of cameras with APS-C size sensors. Here are the specific applications:
1. Precision Cleaning – Designed specifically for APS-C-sized sensors (approx. 16mm wide) to ensure full coverage without residue.
2. Static-Free Material – Made with lint-free, non-abrasive fabric to prevent scratches and dust attraction.
3. Pre-Moistened or Dry Options – Some swabs come pre-loaded with sensor cleaning fluid, while others are dry for use with a separate solution.
4. Single-Use Design – Disposable to avoid contamination from reused swabs.
5. Ergonomic Handle –Rigid design for controlled, safe sweeping motions.
6. Individual Packaging – Sealed to keep swabs clean before use.
The APS-C Sensor Swab is a specialized cleaning tool designed to safely remove dust, smudges, and other debris from the sensor of an APS-C format digital camera.
Steps to Clean Your APS-C Sensor:
Power On & Lock Up the Mirror
Turn on your camera and enable Manual Cleaning Mode (found in the settings menu). This locks the mirror up and opens the shutter, exposing the sensor.
Blow Away Loose Dust
Use a rocket blower (do not use canned air) to remove any loose particles. Hold the camera facing downward so dust falls out.
Apply Cleaning Fluid to the Swab
Use 1-2 drops of sensor cleaning fluid on the swab’s tip (do not oversaturate).
Swipe the Sensor Gently
Hold the swab like a pen and swipe horizontally across the sensor in one smooth motion.
Flip the swab and swipe again in the opposite direction (do not reuse the same side).
Inspect & Repeat if Needed
Check the sensor with a bright light or loupe. If streaks/dust remain, use a fresh swab (never reuse swabs).
