VisibleDust DHAP Orange Vswabs for Medium format and Digital Back 42-44 mm (12-Pack)

1. Refer to your camera’s manual on how to expose the sensor.
2. Brush the sensor surface with Arctic Butterfly®, Sensor Brush™ or use VisbleDust Zeeion® blower to remove any contaminants.
3. Add 3 to 4 drops of VDust Plus™
4. Wait to allow for even saturation of the swab (can be calibrated from a few seconds to 30 seconds depending on environmental conditions). Do not allow the swab to dry out.
5. Wipe across the sensor with gentle pressure “Once”. Discard the swab.
6. Allow the sensor to dry out completely.
7. Release the camera shutter.
8. Proceed with checking the image.
9. Highly Recommended to use the Arctic Butterfly® for complete cleaning.
10. Repeat 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.
