Dust spots on my pictures

I have dust spots on some of my pictures that I shoot. It looks like dust particles especially when I am shooting with a blue sky. Wondering how I can get rid of them??

Occasionally, due to extreme weather, some condensation spot are unavoidable, and can only be fixed by "wet" cleaning.

Is this pretty simple to do? I am worried about messing things up?!?!?! Doing a "wet" cleaning is not difficult with the right tools. However you should have a degree of confidence working with the tools available. If you want to do this yourself, read the first link I gave you above. The Photosol products are very good and do the job. If you are still not comfortable doing the job, find a competent camera store, they might have somebody who could do that for you. Your local BestBuy or Walmart is not likely to have anybody with any more skill at this than you have. I became well practiced at wet cleaning with My D70, which was a veritable dust magnet. I have only had to wet clean my D300s once as the in-camera sensor dust removal system in that works very well. -- Regards, Savageduck |

At least they used to last time I checked. Good luck!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No, I am not - but am going to Minneapolis this weekend, maybe I could find one there? anybody know? Or does anyone have a chain store that they use? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Minneapolis+Camera+Store |

Brush off any dust possible with a sensor brush or natural-end camel hair brush as used for lenses. No cut ends! 3. Use a wet sensor swab for anything that the other two methods don't work on. |

Why is this the only safe method? There is another method I use that is just as safe - the viscous method such as the DustAid Platinum. It's a safe enough method that Canon Japan distributes a cleaning kit that uses this type of sensor cleaner. |

My sensor was clean and I never had a problem. The first time I cleaned the sensor of my 40D using the same method, I scratched the coating of the filter over the sensor. Fortunately, the scratch is in a location that doesn't present a problem unless I wanted to take a picture of nothing but the sky at F11 to F22. With stubborn spots you may want to take your camera to a camera store for cleaning. I have paid as little as $35 and as much as $75 for cleaning the sensor. Ron |

I've never had to buy any specialty cleaning products, nor learn how to use them so as to cause the least amount of camera damage.

I wonder why that is .... hmmm .... sure is befuddling. |
