Dirk,
I have found cleaning the ND sensor a cinch, if you ignore the need to use the setup menu's cleaning function which requires the AC power supply be connected, not something readily doable in the situations where you are more likely to get dust on the sensor, i.e. out on the field. Here's what I do while on the road.
1. Take off the lens when you're all set to clean.
2. Turn the camera on to shooting mode, and cover the lens opening COMPLETELY with your hand - the LCD will read 32 sec exposure.
3. Place the camera on AE Lock while the lens opening is covered to lock the 32 second exposure.
4. Remove your hand and click the shutter - you now have 32 seconds to clean the exposed sensor with an air blower, plenty of time.
Me, I'm praying for an ND2, not a digital RX
.
Cheers,
DJ
