| I've got a nasty bit o' sensor dust that appears near the top of my pictures (even showing up at the medium apertures these days). I've tried cleaning it twice (CopperHill method - worked in the past) but that spot remains. Is it at the top of the sensor or the bottom? In other words, is the sensor right side up or upside down? |

the sensor is always right side up. the image is reversed though. so top of the image is hte bottom of the sensor, and i think left and right are even swapped.

The top of the image is the bottom of the sensor. So, yes the sensor IS upside down.

just stick a piece of tape on it...guaranteed clean in 5 seconds or less.

| Thanks, folks. I'll give it another shot, but maybe not tonight. I figured it was upside down since I seem to recall film was that way. |

| The image at the sensor would appear mirrored and inverted. |

| In future, when in doubt, check the image produced by the lens: hold the lens so that a bright scene is in the field of view and use a piece of white paper held near the rear of the lens so that an image is formed on the paper. That image is precisely what the sensor 'sees'. |
