This Month's
Photog Tip
by Jim Akers
| |
Don't forget to check what setting you're on for sensor cleaning. Most cameras have a set-up menu. Scroll through and find the menu item for sensor cleaning. You will have several choices, in most cases: Auto-Cleaning, Enable/Disable, Clean Now, Clean Manually. I use Auto Cleaning and Clean Now.
