Sensor cleaning in London?
I've just cleaned a friends Nikon with my butterfly I tried that with my K20D, but all the dust from the wings made a mess of the sensor, so I sold it to CardifGareth:twisted::twisted::twisted: Seriously though I got some "Green Clean" sensor swabs from SRS quite some time ago, did my istD & K10D...

Sensor cleaning in London?
Very rarely have to do it with my K-7 but micro 4/3 needs sensor cleaning more often as the thing is so exposed when you change lenses. With my dSLRs, I have never needed to do anything beyond using a rocket blower, which has blasted off every bit of dust I've ever had, and is a cinch to use. ...

Sensor cleaning in London?
Looks like i will be having another go myself, I just seem to get such a lot of dust in there fairly frequently but i do like to change lenses regularly too so it looks like an Arctic butterfly would be a good investment. Thanks for all your help!

Sensor cleaning in London?
When I had my *istD I had to clean it every couple of weeks at least. Used Eclipse fluid and swabs myself, now just the rocket blower with my K10D. Dan

Live View Magnification
AS far as I know they used digital zoom inside liveview on the K20D. So for example lets say the normal liveview has 800x600 pixels. If you zoom in 2x the camera does not adapt so that a smaller part of the sensor is used but it will zoom in the 800x600 liveview so it becomes 400x300 and if you ...

What's causing this?
Following this thread why would you need to turn off shake reduction ? What difference would it make ? When on a tripod there is no shake, so all shake reduction systems start to look for the shake and end up inducing it instead. Every manufacturer instruction book I've seen advises the same - when ...

What's causing this?
My conclusion in the end: There was no difference between the shots taken on the tripod with SR on and off. That was enough for me from then on to just leave my SR on all the time while in the field. Yes, exactly my findings. That's why I'm always interested in any claims to the contrary. Didn'...

What's causing this?
The SR in the pentax is an oscillating type and from my understanding it creates inertia by oscillating the sensor. Since the SR actually cause movement it's better you turn it off if you don't have need for it. I'm not sure about this though so it might be better to check but it's a posiable ex...

What's causing this?
Not from Pentax but from Canon. The system is slightly different but the mechanics behind it are the same it seems. Instead of lens group use sensor :) “The IS mechanism operates by correcting shake. When there is no shake, or when the level of shake is below the threshold of the system’s detec...

Strange dust problem
I was testing a new lens today when I noticed a small spot, only visible at F13 and above. I thought it was dust on the lens. But then I noticed the same spot is visible on my other lenses too. So I thought it must be dust on the sensor. I ran a sensor check, which showed nothing. Did a visual ...

Try sweeping the sensor with an Arctic butterfly brush.

You might also be able to clear it using the "sensor clean" function assuming your camera has one. This vibrates the sensor to shake dust off and usually works pretty well.

Strange dust problem
The dust alert function on my K200D used to show a few spots of dust. I must admit to getting a bit anal about cleaning the sensor and spent quite some time using the sensor clean function and a Giottos Rocket Blower in an attempt to banish dust forever. I then naively assumed, at least until recen...

Strange dust problem
Anyway, I've ordered some (much cheaper) sensor swabs after a troll through Ebay. I thought trolling was somewhat deprecated these days. I quite like the idea of them being manufactured in a clean room and pre-impregnated - saves the cost of buying cleaning fuid separately and less for me to scre...

Strange dust problem
Fortunately (or otherwise), I am old enough to remember and sometimes use words in their pre-internet sense - as in this "wandering about" session on ebay. I do, however, usually have the sense to avoid challenging the most politically sensitive distortions of modern english usage :D I managed to...
