I’ve had this camera for 6 7 years and a few months ago I realized I needed to clean the sensor. My focus had seemed to be off and a little blurry.
I finally ordered a sensor cleaning kit that came in this morning. It worked really well and the sensor looks brand new. The camera also seems to focus properly now.

Nice! I just picked up a used Fuji x-t4 as my first and I’m learning how to do stuff, been having a blast! I’ve had polaroids (both OG and new), and pocket digitals, and phones of course, but this is my first “real” camera. Guess I should add sensor cleaning to the list of shit to learn how to do lol.
Love my xt-4. Got it for a trip to the grand canyon and got some amazing shots.
Just make sure you use a hand pump blower like OP. I started to use a little hand held electric one, but I looked it up and even a small electric one can cause damage. These hand pump ones are what you wanna use.
Youre going to love that camera. I would say that any camera released after 2018 is still a very capable camera even today.
If you havent learned it yet, the expsoure triangle is the most important thing to learn imo. After that is composition and lighting.
I would personally only clean the sensor when it needs it. The less you touch the actual sensor the better.
Good luck!
Thanks! I’ve watched a couple videos on the exposure triangle while I was waiting on the camera, but I’ve had it less than a week, and while I’ve had it I’ve just been playing with auto to familiarize myself with the camera and stuff so far, so I’m familiar with it in theory but have yet to really start messing with it myself and learning it. I will start though, soon!
I have not yet watched anything on composition or lighting so those are foreign concepts to me (beyond “light good but don’t blow out whites” lol).
Yeah I’ll need to learn how to clean it for sure but not right now, it seems to be doing just fine so far!
