Tip: if you fondle the bristle tips of the brush with your dirty filthy greasy human fingers, when you go to brush the sensor, you will transfer about a metric supertanker load of dirty filthy grease from the now greasy brush onto your nice expensive sensor.

Buy a brush designed specifically for cleaning sensors (I use the ones from Visible Dust.) Charge the brush up using clean compressed air. Don't touch the brush bristles with your fingers, ever.; 10:03 AM

You will note at no time did the brush touch the sensor. Only the blower was used on the sensor.

the brush was used on the mirror afterwards.; 2:16 PM
