Yeah when I realized I needed to clean it, I had to watch some videos to learn how.

I didnt want to make any mistakes. To be honest it was very simple, you only put enough pressure to slightly bend the stick and slowly move the cleaning end in one direction.

It’s not that scary. Camera sensors have a hard piece of glass in front of the actual sensor, which it’s fused to. The glass protects the sensor and also acts as an infrared filter.
