I might be being thick, but how do you open the shutter with the camera switched? (or, come to that, with it switched on but no lens on?)Hi, I have cleaned sensors on APC and full frame for years, I have cleaned the R5 a couple of times when I have spotted a spot that does not go, shoot a blue sky at F22 to see the dust, switch off in body IS otherwise the sensor will move. try a blower first, open the shutter and hold the camera downward and blow air across the sensor with airblower (do not use canned air!)
if this does not work use a cleanish room (window shut and not dusty)
I normally use 3 sensors swabs and a couple of drops of fluid on the middle swab. first swab do a dry clean, left to right then right to left using the other face of the swab, throw the swab away switch off the camera and reattach a lens and test at f22 if the dust is gone you are all done!
If dust is still there put a couple of drops on swab 2 near the edge and wait for them to spread do not get the sensor wet, clean left to right and right to left, throw the swab away and the use a third swab to clean again and test again, hopefully all done at this point, if not repeat with new swabs.
Hope this helps
