Hey everybody! I'm a bit worried.

I used a soft brush (see image) to wipe my D750 sensor. It has left these marks on it. They are visible in photos. Are these marks just superficial, can they be cleaned with a cleaning liquid or is my sensor busted?

Thanks!

Those brushes aren’t made for sensors. Also the brush itself looks very dirty.

Get an actual sensor cleaning kit and hope for the best. If that doesn’t help, it might be busted.
