Hi all,

After a quick search around here I could not find any of my doubts solved, so here I go:

1- About Canon EOS 40D Sensor Cleaning, should I leave it in automode to everytime I turn it on and off it runs? Isn't that a little too much for the Sensor that could affect somehow?!

2- Is there any problem of taking on and off the CF Card to upload the pictures to my PC instead of connecting the Camera via USB? I'd rather risk only the card then the whole camera with bad USB ports or stuff like this.

Thanks in advanced,

c0rreia.

To answer number 2, I never connect the camera to the PC. Using a card reader is usually much faster.

1. Should have no effect on the sensor, since it isn't the sensor that's vibrating. I leave mine on auto. Plus, I don't think Canon would have made it the default if it was harmful.

2. I've never plugged my camera (40D or 350D) into a USB port. As cpanaioti said, card reader is much faster.

Thanks for the replies, guys. This community is always committed to help and guide, I hope someday in the near future I can help much more than the help I receive here always.

Regards from Brazil,
