CLEANING THE SENSOR UNIT

With digital cameras and digital backs, keeping the sensor unit clean is more important than
worrying about the cleanliness of lenses, viewfi nders, and focusing screens. Any dust particle
in front of the sensor will be recorded in the image as dark or colored spots and possibly
spoil or ruin an otherwise good digital image. If you see such marks it is defi nitely time to
clean the fi lter.
Hasselblad completely covers the sensor with an infrared fi lter making it inaccessible.
So your concern is really keeping the fi lter clean, not the sensor. Keeping things clean is eas-
ier than cleaning them. Leave the sensor unit attached to the camera where it is least likely
exposed to dust. As mentioned earlier there are only two reason for removing a digital back
from a Hasselblad camera body, one when attaching a fi lm magazine and the other for clean-
ing the infrared fi lter. Whenever the digital sensor unit is off the camera, even for a short time,
