sensor dust test
Just thought I'd share this little tip with everyone on how to check to see if you need a sensor cleaning. I noticed a couple of spots in the top right corner of some of my photos and thought it was the lens at first. After switching lenses and seeing that the spots were still there I thought I'd investigate sensor cleaning procedures.
I found this site:
www.cleaningdigitalcameras.com/inspecting.html
that explains how to take a test shot (seen above) to see how much dust is on your camera sensor. As expected I have a couple of dark spots in the top right of mine ... and a bunch of others I hadn't noticed in my photos.
It's been just over a year since I got my camera so I'm going to send it in for a professional cleaning which will hopefully get rid of 99.99% of the dust.
Hope this tip proves helpful.
