Subject: RE: Hello and Sensor cleaning
Mark Cassino inquired:
Who was it who posted about a problem trying to clean his sensor with scuba
gear (a flow of compressed air from his scuba tank.)
I missed the posts with the conclusion of that situation (if any ever
appeared), but it sounded like he had a problem on his hands.
That would be me...
Actually the problem was easily fixed by the Pentax importer's repair division.
What had happened was that there had been some sort of contaminant in the hose that
I used to decant from the tank.
I think it was a lubricating oil of some sort that had been used when the hose assembler
attached the fittings.
This residue was cleaned off, and it was returned to me as good as new. The cost was minimal too, so a good outcome all round.
Not recommended to use scuba tanks on digital cameras...not even underwater ones!
