Hi guys,
The whole thing started when I spotted a small dot on my pictures. Ok, I said, dust on sensor.
I have a small manual pump (from giotto, looks like a rocket), blew 1-2 times on the sensor, dust went away.
Then I observed a small dot on the viewfinder. Hm, dust on mirror, i say. Blew again, didn't go away. Then I used a small brush (from lenses cleaning set), managed to get away that small dot of dust. Very proud, i take a look on the viewfinder only to find in horror a whole colony of dust, hair-like stuff and so on.
These are not on the 45% mirror you look directly at, but on the one in the top of the chamber(leading to viewfinder) with the AF dots on it.
Hmm, you are a moron, i said.
I tried using cotton-sticks to clear the stuff, used again the blower thing, tried also using a micro-fiber cloth...
Well, I managed to get the big stuff away, but I still have a lot of dust and a small smear (i think it's body-fat -- probably from the microfiber cloth).
What can i do now ? Can it be fixed ? Did i broke the AF sensors ?
The small spec on the 45% mirror is now gone though... |
