Different camera makes have different ways to keep the shutter open for cleaning. My Nikon has a setting to hold open the shutter. You could also set it to "bulb" and keep the button depressed (but be careful not to release the button if the end of the puffer is in there or bad news) some people use canned air but you need to make certain that only air. not freezing moisture hits it. If that doesn't work I would suggest letting a pro clean your sensor. ------------------------- www.louisbarrphotography.com Like my Facebook fanpage
