An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I've had this camera for ~~6~~ 7 years and a few months ago I realized I needed to clean the sensor. My focus had seemed to be off and a little blurry.
I finally ordered a sensor cleaning kit that came in this morning. It worked really well and the sensor looks brand new. The camera also seems to focus properly now.

Youre going to love that camera. I would say that any camera released after 2018 is still a very capable camera even today.
If you havent learned it yet, the expsoure triangle is the most important thing to learn imo. After that is composition and lighting.
I would personally only clean the sensor when it needs it. The less you touch the actual sensor the better.
Good luck!
Thanks! I've watched a couple videos on the exposure triangle while I was waiting on the camera, but I've had it less than a week, and while I've had it I've just been playing with auto to familiarize myself with the camera and stuff so far, so I'm familiar with it in theory but have yet to really start messing with it myself and learning it. I will start though, soon!
I have not yet watched anything on composition or lighting so those are foreign concepts to me (beyond "light good but don't blow out whites" lol).
Yeah I'll need to learn how to clean it for sure but not right now, it seems to be doing just fine so far!
