Manual Sensor Cleaning
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor with
care.
Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the
sensor.
Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. It can
damage the shutter curtains.
Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the sensor
cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
