as kyou are prolly aware i now have upgraded from a d40 to d90... i notice there are various built-in sensor cleaning settings....
for those with this camera or another with sensor cleaning does it work well? what setting do you use?
I've set mine to clean on start up and shutdown. I figure it can't hurt to clean as much as possible. I haven't noticed any dust in my camera after 2 years, but I tend not to shoot stuff that is likely to show it up. I am meaning to get it checked out on the next bright blue day.
ditto, works too (but not a really sticky or big bunnies)

I have it on at startup (Pentax have a similar cleaning system). I also use it as a first resort (manual mode) when there is a bunny. I then use a blower if needed.
Funny, I've had my D90 (& D300) for some time now.. and I've rarely used this... never had the need, however may just go back and take another look

G'day all
Can I pose a Q to Ving & others here ...
To get the camera to do its sensor / dust self check operation ... does your camera give the same results with lens cap 'on' as when shooting a white screen??

Of all the stuff in a busy photographers kitbag, the ability to see photographically is the most important

Thought it was a gimmick when I got the D300 but it definitely works. I have mine set to clean at shutdown only.

Thankyou Kiwi
I'm not sure whether this really should become a new thread ...
but the Q remains:-
[quote] To get the camera to do its sensor / dust self check operation ... does your camera give the same results with lens cap 'on' as when shooting a white screen?? [quote]
I guess what I'm querying is that some users talk about shooting a white wall/card etc to determine dust spots, other cameras talk about ain 'internal' self-check of the sensor to do the same thing ... and I'm wondering about the 2 approaches
This help at all??
Regards, Phil
Yes, it is
