A Small YouTube Tutorial on How to Clean Your Camera… of Any Life it Has Left

NSFL: Camera Death.
There’s a new trend on YouTube these days: making parody videos of all the horrendous tutorials we find so often there. They can be of someone holding a camera like it’s in the middle of a magnitude 7.6 earthquake; or what about the ones where the uploader goes off for about seven minutes on the premise of why he’s making the tutorial? And then there’s the videos that just… give plain bad advice in general. This video hilariously depicts exactly that by teaching you how to clean a Canon 5D – by submerging it into a tub of water and soap.
Keep in mind that this is a complete joke, though you’ll still probably find yourself screaming at the screen watching the atrocity unfold. In defense, the camera does clean up pretty well. But either way, I think it goes without saying that you shouldn’t try this yourself. Don’t ever actually submerge a camera into water, even with everything turned off. It doesn’t matter whether it’s supposed to be weatherproof or not; don’t do it. If you do need proper guidance on maintenance and cleaning, check out this video from Canon. And don’t worry; it’s filmed on a tripod and she won’t ask you to like and subscribe to her page at the end.

Irresponsible. I know it’s a joke, most people will know it’s a joke, but some won’t…
And those people deserve exactly what they get.
Worked a charm….thanks guys ;-)
It’s just a joke…anyone who thinks it’s real would not have the mental capacity to operate a camera or get on the Internet to read it.
Don’t be so sure. Pick a random popular post, read the comments, then decide whether or not someone would actually do this. As proven, any monkey can use a camera these days. :)
Salt water cleans better.
I wouldn’t dare to do thing like this. Don’t tell me it a joke or you gonna get the blame.

Should put it into the jewelry ultra sound cleaning setup to get all of the dust and loose bits out. The built in vibration only shakes the dust off of the sensor. Ultra sound can get it out of the camera. :p
That’s how every Canon should be cleaned!
My thoughts exactly! I said “oh thank christ it was a canon!”
I think i just died a little on the inside O_O
I don’t advise to do it like this. He uses his fingers to clean the mirror and prisma and the front of his lens. Never do that with your fingers. Always use a soft cloth. ;)
(Yes I know, this is a bad thing to do, do not try it at home)
I have seen some scary things before but, I am going to have nightmares thanks to you.
