sensor dust
Is it possible for a small compact
to get dust on its sensor? I thought only DSLR had this problem because their lenses could be removed. I have a HP 707 with this problem. Spots show up on pictures with large white or blue sky areas. What can be done about this problem? |

Usually, the compact camera has a sealed sensor, making it very difficult for dust or dirt to get in. You might like to post a picture so that people can be sure dust is really the problem. If shaking the camera doesn't help, you may need to send it for repair (or buy new). You can reduce the effect on the image with a program like Paint Shop Pro. Cheers, David |

Usually, the compact camera has a sealed sensor, making it very difficult for dust or dirt to get in. You might like to post a picture so that The volume of the most compact camera's is NOT constant. Air presure is not constant. The space in front of the sensor is air. (Compact camera's do not have a sealed sensor). Because of the volume change (zooming etc). the camera is not airtight, this means air gets sucked in and blown out. While extending the lens this is going quite rappidly, so there are some 'large' holes in the camera. When the air get's sucked in, dust get's sucked in as well. Depending where the camera is kept, there will be dust on the camera. Keeping the camera in a camerabag which is 'clean' will keep the camera clean as wel (fairly). Keeping the camera in a dusty surrounding, for example in your pants or your pockets in your coat then the camera will get dusty. Zooming makes that air (and if present) dust get's sucked in. Sensors in most compact camera's are very difficult to reach even for professionals and often the operation of removing the dust is so expensive that the camera is not worth this operation. So with the camera, you are probably stuck with the dust. ben brugman. people can be sure dust is really the problem.

(Compact camera's do not have a sealed sensor). The sensor is sealed. Period. The air round the sensor is not, as you say. David |

Dust on a compact`s sensor? That`s very unlikely. |
