Bad sensor dust

They say to bring the camera to the service shop. what cleaning kit did you buy that did not include instructions?? a cleaning kit is *not* going to say take it to the shop. there would be no point in the kit. you're really stretching on this one. They run the service gratis if you go to certain sponsored events, but they do them some three hours drive from here, and they warn that they will do only a limited number, so no warranty of getting it done. My idea is to go there once and see how they do it. this isn't about going to a shop to have it done and they have different tools than you would anyway. or do a search on how. there are plenty of detailed explanations and even videos. it's not difficult. even just one squeeze of a rocket blower would make a dramatic improvement. Maybe he takes the camera to a shop to be cleaned by a professional back home that knows how to do it, and he wouldn't dare try to do it himself, even less on a trip. or maybe he doesn't care. You do not know that. it's quite clear he doesn't care, else he wouldn't have posted a photo full of dust spots which looks like utter ****. he simply does not care. |

If he does not know how to go about cleaning the sensor on a DSLR, or MILC, he, and anybody who owns one should invest in the basic tools, correct size swabs, PEC pad, a Giottos Rocket, a bottle of Eclipse Fluid, and a magnifier with some sort of illuminator. I don't have any of that, nor my friends. I don't even know what they are. just because you don't know how doesn't mean others don't. as i said, it's never too late to learn. What camera do you shoot? If you have photos that are important to you, but have "errors", do whatever you can to fix those errors in post. That is why editing tools exist. You can not correct focus on post. false. photoshop and several other tools, such as focus magic can help fix out of focus images: http://focusmagic.com iphone cameras capture a depth map and can adjust the focus and/or depth of field *after* the photo has been taken. |

So they can over-charge you for what you can do at home. Buy the cleaning tools, learn what to do, and save yourself a whole load of cash. http://www.cleaningdigitalcameras.com https://photosol.com https://www.micro-tools.com/collections/d-slr-kits-aps-c-sensors I'll have a look. They run the service gratis if you go to certain sponsored events, but they do them some three hours drive from here, and they warn that they will do only a limited number, so no warranty of getting it done. My idea is to go there once and see how they do it. They start by fondling your wallet. No, it is a free session to teach people, maybe selling cleaning kits. None has been programmed till April yet. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

Bad sensor dust
In article xdSdnd6wvKHXv8rBnZ2dnUU7-
, says... However, there are some idiots who think they are extending the battery charge by turning off sensor dust removal. That is a false economy. First time I hear this. Could it be that they turn it off to speed up the camera startup (in case the dust removal happens when you switch on the camera)? -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at https://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |
