Like how to clean the sensor in the field? I have tried the
VisibleDust sensor brush and it worked no different than
a nylon art brush. Removes some dust but smears the rest
around. Pretty worthless in my opinion. The CO2 duster works
better than the brush. Next finer cleaning requires a single
pass swipe with ethanol/methanol on a PecPad wrapped
around a thin piece of plastic (like credit card or thinner).
Beyond that it is the healing brush in PS.

The CO2 duster gets the big stuff, the fine stuff is only a problem
at F11 or higher. Dust is certainly an advantage with the E-1.
