I am curious about the sensor cleaning function. More specifically: do you have 'autoclean' enabled so it cleans every time you power up/down?
Do you use the 'dust delete' function for DPP?
Thanks in advance.

Yes and no, respectively. My other cameras needed cleaning only rarely. I figure Canon's default behavior is probably best, and I can always clone out sensor dust anyway.

| I've just left my 'autoclean' enabled as I assume that must be the best ... don't really know though!! |

IMO the auto clean doesnt do a hole lot, it may get rid of a little dust but for the most part I find myself blowing mine out every now and then...

Is there any noticeable delay with it enabled? They tout the fast start-up time, but then it says this function will take up to a second.
I guess I will know by the end of the day. UPS says it is 'out for delivery' as of 6:30 a.m. In prep I downloaded the manual and read it. I got other questions, but I feel they will be answered when it gets here. |

No. You can take a picture immediately and it will simply override the cleaning cycle. |

| not really a huge delay. By the time I've got the camera up to my eye its finished. It will stop the moment you press the shutter button anyway |

Must have missed that part in the manual. Thanks for the replies.

I turned off my Autoclean, and just do it after swapping lenses, or at the end of the day. I figured it would save on wear and tear and might save me having to get something replaced/serviced down the road. You know how those dastardly design engineers like to design things to break after a certain number of uses these days.
I haven't used the dust delete yet, and don't know if I will ever. I've had it for seven months now, and there's just a hint one small speck when I crank the f-stop and shoot the sky. In much better shape than my rebel was after seven months. I have the feeling using the dust delete voodoo feature might change my photos in a way I don't want, by hiding something, maybe. So when the dust gets bad I'll just use the Copperhill method to clean the sensor, as I did with my rebel.

I leave autoclean on and since I shoot RAW and use DPP I use the auto dust clone out removal feature (whatever it's called). I don't see no stinkin dust no more!
