Get Your Camera Cleaned on Saturday!

When was the last time your camera was cleaned? If you’re planning on taking some summer photos, you should make sure all your gear is clean, to ensure you get the clearest and highest quality photos possible. Prolonged time between cleanings can lead to everything from fingerprints on your filters to unwanted sensor spots, which will show up in your images, and can be removed with sensor cleaning. Stop by from 10 am – 5 pm on this Saturday, June 1st, to get your gear cleaned for free! We will be cleaning camera exteriors, lenses, filters, and screens, as well as evaluating your camera’s sensor and shooting a reference photo for you. Come learn more about sensor cleaning, and even leave your camera to get the sensor cleaned if necessary. Please note there is a limit of one camera and lens per customer.
