  • Dustspots

    Is it normal to get dustspots this early on?

    I've had my camera for less than a month!

    Doesn't really matter how long you've had the camera, just how often you change lenses.

      Never, since I only have 1 lens.

      It's just the time i took off the cap from the 300D, and put on 75-300. Never took the lens off since...

        My buddy just got a D70, and he was lucky enough to have a factory dustspot. It's nothing too big, and well it doesn't bother him too much.

        Just keep cloning it out, no need to clean it until it is totally necissary. And when this time comes, do it outdoors with compressed air, sandpaper, and water....works like a charm

              How 'bout a flamethrower, should burn those annoying as hell spots right off

              I got dust spots on my sensor too but I am not too worried since I rarely stop down the aperture beyond f8. If you can see them with the lens wide open, then it is time to clean the sensor.

                I was using f8, and I can see the dust spot.

                  Dust could just be on the mirror.

                    If you are seeing it through the viewfinder, then that's probably it but if you are seeing it in the picture, then it's the sensor. Anyways, if it is one or two, no need to panic yet.

                      Yeah. I think cloning it out is a little safer than touching the mirror or sensor right now.

                        Mirror is easy to clean. Of course if there is dust on the mirror it wouldn't be showing up in pictures.

                          I have a few that pop up usually around f/8-f/11 or so and thats ok cuz i just clone them out... it just gets annoying sometimes when you have to clone out of like 3 pics though.

                          However when down to f/22 i get a helluva lot more...
