Cleanliness of equip. Links for help please

[P-Chan]

Cant find in a quick search a link on how to clean best the body inside and out after a day of usage. Ideally for the lens as well. Wouldnt like to give em a bubble bath and learn later that i wasnt supposed to

Also dslrs are they supposed to get a periodically service?

Also how to aviod at best having humidity and moisture killing the sensor. Its a veritable nightmare this one for me especially as I havent gone around looking for the sensor to see where it is yet

Any quick links or suggestions highly appreciated.

P.S while Ima sking for help might as well go with this one as well.

Yestarday I took varouis photos of a kestrel in mid air at a certain distance (approx 50-70 meters away) with wrong shutter adjustment (came too dark)

The darkness I can fix not much of a problem but when zooming id like to see if photoshop or anything will help to fix the grain from the photos.





Thanks and regards and happy 2010. May all the prettiest birds fly 3 meters away from your lens

Well i would be careful messing inside the camera...
If you are careful changing lenses you should not get any dirt inside..

The outside i just wipe down with a microfibre cloth to remove any water and use screen wipes if i have a bit of dirt on the body...

Lenses, i clean both ends with another microfibre cloth...

You can clean the sensors yourself with a cleaning kit, but if you are not sure there are plenty of companies that will clean it for a price...

I have never serviced my cameras but i suppose if you are out in the wild/dirty/dusty conditions it would be worth it...
