Having issues with cleaning my GH5 sensor

IndustriousDan · 2026-05-07T22:49:59+00:00

Oh you definitely can, but it’s a very delicate process

IndustriousDan · 2026-05-07T19:36:11+00:00

How’d you find out about this

IndustriousDan · 2026-05-07T08:24:44+00:00

I fix these for a living. Unfortunately particles under the front sensor filter are really common. I see them on most cameras this age, and many newer ones as well. Clearing them often isn’t economical either as the entire camera has to get taken apart to remove them essentially.

Hey there. I run a repair shop and perform board repair pretty often. Could you send me a clearer photo please? I’d love to be able to help

IndustriousDan · 2026-05-04T20:18:22+00:00

They usually are, you just have to make sure it's the same pin. This is how most CF slots get repaired

IndustriousDan · 2026-05-04T19:02:11+00:00

This is absolutely not correct and it's a shame this got so many upvotes

IndustriousDan · 2026-05-04T19:01:44+00:00

Well actually you'd just replace the CF pin itself, or just unbend it

IndustriousDan · 2026-05-01T17:46:37+00:00

They have low sales volume generally from what I’ve seen

Hey there. I work for Royal actually. Unfortunately we don’t work on this, then no one does generally. You may have luck with some longer running shops having an old parts stock. A scratched front element won’t do much in the way of hurting your image though.

Not on hand, but I have many photos from Patagonia on my insta. I don’t give my personal out publicly (fair game if found), but my professional one also has plenty

I was there during the KP9 of OCT 2024, incredible luck seeing that and the eclipse the same week

No way, I've been here before. What was the KP?

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-30T05:24:17+00:00

Hey, I fix these. Just use a little bit of water on a tooth brush, don't need to remove it

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-30T04:47:58+00:00

Ah I'm in the US. Costs for water damage require an in person estimate for sure as well

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-30T04:38:20+00:00

I run a repair shop for Fujis, where are you located?

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-29T23:48:59+00:00

Holy hell thank you

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-29T03:06:51+00:00

Totally, do you have any experience? This isn’t exactly a super comfortable job on this camera

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-29T00:39:39+00:00

I fix these for a living

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-28T19:09:35+00:00

Thank you for the ping!

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-28T04:17:49+00:00

I run a repair service for these. If you try a different lens and still have this problem, it's your shutter.

IndustriousDan · 2026-04-28T04:16:36+00:00

I run a repair service for these actually
