I have a 7d mark ii.. i saw a spot when i looked through viewfinder so i opened the camera and blew into it once and very briefly into the interior of the camera, fogged up a little for a split second then cleared up. Figured not a good idea. Then i super lightly removed a piece of dust from the mirror w a tip of a dry qtip. Doubt i caused any damage.. but i am Paranoid. Everything looks fine. Works fine. Should i b worried?
You're probably all right, but breathing into a camera isn't a smart idea: breath isn't all that clean. They make squeeze-type blowers for that purpose.
I blew into it briefly and not really up close at all. Immediately knew jt was stupid and didnt do it again. Mirror was down. Sensor wasnt visible agh 😕 im paranoid. Everything seems to be normal? Purchased a blower that day
You're fine. Do as Bob suggests... buy an air puffer. You should not need to touch anything inside the camera. As steady as you might think you are Q-Tips are also not a good idea. Don't be paranoid. You know what not to do next time and what to use if you happen to see a speck of dust inside your body.
