VisibleDust Arctic Butterfly SL 707 Sensor Cleaning Tool for Small DSLR / Mirrorless Cameras

WARNING: Do Not Spin Device While Brush is on Camera’s Sensor

Read complete instructions below before using your spinning device

1. Requires one (1) “AAA” batterie (not included). Use high-quality batteries for best performance. Remove the batteries before traveling on an airplane.
2. Do not use on camera chamber or parts other than sensor, otherwise you will smear the sensor.
3. Wash inside the cap occasionally with mild soap or in case of a smear.
4. The brush is already inserted into the device, however if the brush comes off (or if you pull it out of the device to wash the brush filaments), you can always attach it back to the device. Do not use glue! The brush is meant to attach to device without glue.
5. When removing the cap, do not pull it straight off. Instead, “unscrew the cap following the direction of the arrow”
6. Turn the device on and spin the brush 3 times for 5 seconds. This will enhance the fiber charges and dislodge any particles within the fibers via centripetal force.
7. Take the Arctic Butterfly® – 788 and gently brush across your sensor ONCE. Do not spin the brush while on sensor! Keep your fingers away from the power button on the device while cleaning the sensor to prevent accidental spinning.
8. Release the camera shutter and proceed with checking the image for evidence of dust particles.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 if necessary.

Visibledust sensor cleaning solutions and swabs are calibrated to work together to produce optimal and safe results. Please DO NOT USE alternative solutions with our swab. A simple grain of quartz that is found in cheaper solutions are enough to produce an expensive scratch on the low pass filter. Our solutions are manufactured to the highest standard of quality that is practiced in pharmaceutical industries.

Visibledust solutions are calibrated for NORMAL evaporative rates:

1. to keep the swab moist at all time to reduce the risk of scratch
2. to increase the cleaning power, less swabbing more economical
3. to reduce friction by being moist all time during swabbing

The potential risk of FAST evaporative solutions used as sensor cleaning are the following:

1. an increase in the risk of damage and stress to sensor coating by using a premature dry swab
2. a great reduction in cleaning power by shortening the contact time between contaminants and solution due to the increased evaporation rate of the solution
3. increase in friction by using a premature drying swab, resulting in static charge build-up leading to an even greater dust accumulation on the sensor

Our cleaning liquids are intended to be placed on the swab first, so the concern for liquid seeping through the sensor is not valid or accurate. On the other hand, the disadvantages of a generic brand or FAST evaporative liquid used for sensor cleaning may in fact may cause damage to the sensor by requiring repeat swabbing and is not recommended.
