RE: http://www.pbase.com/copperhill/ccd_cleaning

just wondering for those that do follow this technique and have a 300D... it states the following:

This is really a simple procedure, but you'll have to keep swabbing to learn how much pressure to apply and how to get all the dust in one "double-swipe".

From here you hook up the AC-adapter and lock up the mirror. Next put 2 or 3 drops of Eclipse (maximum) onto the wiping edge and you're good to go. I've placed two arrows in frame #6 to show where I place the 2 drops of Eclipse.

i guess there's only one way to "lock up the mirror", use the pseudo-10D hack. is this correct? TIA

No You do not need the hack to clean the censor, in the menu there is an option called something like censor cleaning which opens the mirror. It is documented in the manual (on page 34 in the danish manual if You can use that information at all :wink: ).
