How do you get dust out of the viewfinder and/or your LCD of your digital camera?


I have a Canon Rebel XT and there's dust in the viewfinder and also somehow under the LCD. It makes me sad. How do I get rid of it?

The 'official' answer is to send your camera body to one of the two US Canon Service Centers to have your mirror, AF screen and sensor cleaned.

I have tried multiple techniques for cleaning my various DSLRs (I've owned a Canon EOS D30 and now own an infrared-converted 10D and a non-converted 20D) including using PecPads and special cleaning solution.

I have recently purchased a product by VisibleDust.com that seems to do everything I need. It's a battery powered brush that is small enough to fit in my bag. All I need to do is open it up, hit the button 3 times for 3 seconds each and brush it across my sensor. It's been able to clean the dust from my sensor each time. It's pricey, but works and doesn't require any special cleaning solution.

Of course, the first step before wiping the sensor should be to blow on the sensor with a blower-bulb (NEVER your breath, and never from a compressed air can) to see if that dislodges the dust. If that fails, try the VisibleDust solution.

Happy shooting!

Don't vote for my answer. The answer above looks really solid.

No further answer is needed, but a second answer is the only way to close the question.

Give me your camera I will do it.
