Camera Maintenance Essentials

9 lessons with Erik Kuna · His complete gear care routine

Anyone can buy great gear.

Erik shows you how to keep it great.

Your camera can last for years — or fail you at the worst moment. The difference is twenty minutes of maintenance you can learn right now. Erik Kuna keeps his gear running through the salt spray and brutal conditions of rocket launch photography, and in this class he shares the routine behind 15 years in the field and 1,000+ sensor cleanings without a single damaged sensor. Learn to spot sensor dust before it shows up in your images, clean safely step by step, protect your lenses, and avoid the everyday products that quietly destroy cameras. About 99% of gear problems can be solved with what's in this class — and you'll handle them with confidence.

What You'll Learn

✓

Spot sensor dust before it ruins a shoot

The white-wall test reveals every spot on your sensor — and Lightroom shows you exactly what each one is telling you

✓

Clean your sensor safely, step by step

From gravity and built-in cleaning to blowers and dry swabs — escalate only as far as the problem requires

✓

Master the dry swab

The technique that intimidates most photographers, made simple — the two-pass method Erik has used 1,000+ times without damaging a sensor

✓

Give your lenses the care they deserve

Erik's blower-first cleaning sequence, the truth about cheap protective filters, and why a lens hood is your best insurance

✓

Avoid the products that quietly destroy cameras

Canned air, household cleaners, DEET — plus the everyday item that's damaged more cameras than dropping them

...across all 9 lessons, from first inspection to quarterly routine.

Why This Course Matters

Neglected gear doesn't fail loudly. It fails quietly.

Spots you clone out of every sky, contrast that never looks right, fungus blooming inside a lens until no cleaning can save it — and the fixes photographers improvise often do more damage than the dirt. Erik replaces guesswork with a system: diagnose problems like a working pro, fix what's within reach, and know the moment a job belongs in professional hands. The payoff is sharper files straight out of camera, fewer hours healing spots in post, and gear that holds its value.
