Clean dust off the D100's CCD


Does anyone have experience with cleaning dust off the D100's CCD?

I believe I can do this with a shutter release cable while the camera is set to bulb, but would like to hear how others have cleaned their CCDs

TIA

  My camera has a setting for cleaning it. It allows the shutter to stay open instead of having to keep it open on bulb. Look in the menu or the manual. I would expect any top brand digital to have the same.

  Thanks Gregory! I've been doing some research on this, and there's a product called speckgrabber that I'm going to look into further and see if that will do the trick.

  Thanks again! I took the camera to the shop and they checked the CCD and it appears to be clean, though they did blow air on the CCD just to satisfy my.

I'm going to look into a product called speckgrabber.

  Okay, back again...

I think I've found a viable solution, and since I think this is an important issue, here's a link:
