Manual Sensor Cleaning
Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can be removed manually with a blower, etc. Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor with care.
Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the sensor.
Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. It can damage the shutter curtains.
Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
