Mike,
I was reading a review of the new Nikon D100. This is what it had to
say on CCD cleaning:
"The procedure for cleaning the CCD is summarized in the D100 manual. It
requires the optional EH-5AC AC adapter and a blower. There is a
dedicated menu option for locking up the mirror to expose the CCD (Low
Pass Filter). Nikon do not recommend the use of wipes but do note that
aerosol blowers can be used as long as they are not fired directly onto
the CCD."
I assume that the E-10/20 have less of an issue with this since they are
ZLRs, not SLRs.
A full review of the D-100 is at:
