NRD, LLC announces the FIREFLY Digital Sensor Cleaner

Dust, dirt and other particles in the camera body come from many sources, and can become attached to interior surfaces of the camera body, mirror and shutter. These particles are attracted to the sensor and can be held in place by electrostatic charges.


The FireFly uses a Giotto “Rocket” air blower bulb and advanced ionizing technology to direct a burst of anti-static air onto the sensor. Once the non-fixed dirt and dust particles lose their electrostatic charge, they simply fall off the sensor.
