Camera Cleaning
If you find dust on the CMOS sensor, you can remove the front half of the camera. Then use the cleaning kit for DSLR camera sensors to clean the CMOS sensor. You must be careful when cleaning it. You can also use a DSLR cleaning tool or lens tissue to clean it. Be careful not to use too much force, because the coating of the CMOS sensor is very fragile and can be scratched easily. The general identification of whether the dust is on the sensor or on the window glass is as follows.
