My D60 has had a couple of "dust bunnies" for quite some time. I am soooo tired of removing them in Photoshop! I have finally decided I need to summon the courage to try cleaning the sensor myself. I've read tutorials on how to do the cleaning and have ordered pec pads, eclipse solution and cleaning swabs.
The tutorials I've looked at are very in depth about how to clean the sensor, but they don't tell how to gain access to the sensor... I'm not really sure how to do that... but I believe that you remove the lens, then have to enter a sensor cleaning mode, perhaps in the menu, that will lock open the mirror and expose the sensor.
On the D-60 - is it correct that the only way to do that is with AC power? I think that may be the case. If so here is where I encounter a new problem - I cannot get AC power to the camera. I plug the coupler into the battery charger and into the camera but the camera will not power up. Is there something I'm supposed to do other than plugging in and turning on?
The battery charger works to charge batteries. If I am not overlooking a procedure thing, then I don't know how to determine if the fault is in the jack where the DR-400 plugs into the charger, or the DR-400 itself.
I have never used the DR-400 coupler since I got the camera. I have a BG-ED3 and always do everything from battery power. If there is some other way to gain access for cleaning (without AC power) then I wouldn't really care if the DR-400 worked or not.
If anyone can offer advice I'd appreciate it.
