Hello, I've been noticing dark spots on my photos. I know it's not the lens because I've used multiple lenses and cleaned them all.
I can see them in the viewfinder too before I take the pics. I've attached a sample of what I'm talking about. Any help would be appreciated...

| You have dust on your sensor. When you change lenses sometimes dust can get inside your camera. It may just need to be blown out. |

If it's sensor dust why is he seeing it in the viewfinder before taking pics. Isn't the sensor behind the mirror? Have you cleaned the glass thoroughly? |

My guess, if you see them in the viewfinder then there are dried water spots on the lens.

There's probably dust on the sensor and the mirror. It's very common. Dust on the mirror can be ignored because it will not show up in photos.
