I'm having a problem with dots showing up in some images. I was hoping maybe someone might have an idea what's happening. I'm getting these dots in my photos. It's happened with different lenses, (something on the lens was my first thought :)) Here is an example.

It's the two grey dots on the left side of the shot. Any ideas?
Thanks

Dust on the sensor. When you change lenses the sensor is exposed to the elements for a short time but it's enough for them to get in there.

One of many dust removal techniques.

Also, check for spots on the lens (front or back). If you don't see spots there then it may be time to have the sensor cleaned.

Just wanted to say thanks for the help. Screwed up my courage today and used the method suggested in the users manual. It seems to have worked. I also ordered the cleaning kit recommended in the link. Thanks again.
