Compressed air?

[Dubn83]

Hey guys I've found a can of compressed air or "clean-are" from jessops that I had from my my 500n. Is it ok to use on my d3100 and lenses?

No I wouldn't risk it the pressure could damage the inside of the camera or other parts. Any camera equipment that needs cleaning needs the gentle approach, and you have no control with compressed air

No, not recommended.

Yea thought as much, think I need a rocket blower then.

Also because the air is decompressed as it leaves the can it cools down rapidly, which could lead to condensation. Use a rocket blower instead.

Fine for everything except the inside of your camera. Great for getting dust off lenses and out of those tight spots on the body.

I'm with Alex on this, don't try and clean your sensor or mirror box with it but for external use they're fine.
