I have learned that having a camera company or pro photo shop clean
one's camera's sensor is perhaps the biggest con-job perpetrated by the
digital sensor industry! Anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size
can achieve exactly the same perfect result at virtually no cost.
Buy a box of cleaning swabs ...... seen on the second row of products
here for example:
www.VisibleDust.com
and a small bottle of cleaning fluid, also seen on the same page.
Apply a drop of the fluid to the swab and draw it slowly across the
sensor but only once. Turn the swab over and draw back over the sensor
in the opposite direction. After the two draws dispose of the swab.
NEVER use it for a third pass; specks of dirt on the swab could
contaminate the sensor.If necessary use another swab.
I paid GBP50 in Gibraltar in March 2015 for a "pro" cleaning of my X-T1.
Back home my preferred photo shop sold me the pack of swabs and cleaning
fluid and I have done my own cleaning ever since with no adverse
consequences.

I just noticed a small round, circular smudge in the upper right-hand
corner of every shot the past week or so. I finally looked directly at
the sensor, and there appears to be a tiny speck of something that I'm
sure is causing the smudge. Is there a safe way to gently remove it? Or
is this one of those things where I have to ship my camera in to Olympus
to have it done?
