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?
