Strange Dark Line at Camera
I would recommend giving the rocket blower a few hard puffs just before using on the camera. Dust can settle in the blower - and this gets it out first! Once done you can use the mirror lock up cleaning function and carefully give the sensor a blow - don't touch it though. The dust alert funct...

Strange Dark Line at Camera
The dust alert function in the camera can be used before this to show where the dust is physically on the sensor ;-) Matt Is the dust alert image on the screen the same way up as the sensor, or is it inverted? Dust alert on my K-x shows a couple of small dots at the top of the screen, but when...

Is my film scanner borked? No earthl;y idea how to even clean it....
Hello, Got my developed films back and everything seems good with them (at least they are in focus this time!). However the Veho film scanner has an odd "blotch" showing up that I am sure is on the sensor. It wasn't there last time I used it and it has been stored in in its box since. Got all the...

As the blotch is quite clearly defined, I'd say it's likely on the sensor rather than in the optics, but I could be wrong. Either way, if it's out of guarantee I think your only option is to try to take it apart and remove the offending particle. It's not a sensor fault because that wouldn't show ...

Don't know if the sensor/ optics are sort of near the slide entry point, but it might be worth trying a rocket blower into the opening? (ie one with the filter for air intake so you don't simply blow more muck onto the sensor)

Vibration using bulb setting on Pentax K10D
Not all the EXIF information is contained in the file you have posted (it's been pulled out by Adobe PS-CC). I could have sussed most of the required info from a full JPEG or RAW file. Just tried the same action on a K10D here. No real difference between SR-On and SR-Off. I suspect SR has been di...

K3 autofocus not working
The auto focus on my K3 appears to be faulty and I would be grateful for any advice as to the problem before I return it for repair under warranty. I wonder if I have an incorrect setting somewhere or have hit the wrong button! The symptoms occur with sdm lenses and screw drive lenses but all th...

K3 autofocus not working
There are some things you can try. Factory reset is one, but first try taking out the battery, leaving it for a few minutes and then re-inserting it. Also, try cleaning body mount and lens contacts with a dry, soft cotton cloth.

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
►CLEAN AND CHECK CCD ◄ ?? Steve Did not read the quotation as closely as maybe I should have! Raises a few questions about their general approach - and still no response to either email! OTOH, whilst I haven't yet checked the images to confirm that the AF and sensor are now OK,...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Realised that I still did not have a copy of the invoice confirming that the work has been done and paid for, and so emailed Johnsons again and now I have that invoice. However, I then saw that the invoice still referred to cleaning the "CCD" sensor- so I have now pointed out to them that the sta...

I also question the cleaning of the sensor no matter what they call it. After all, the sensor is protected by layers of low-pass and IR filter glass. It's OK for novices to talk about 'cleaning the sensor', but pro technicians tend to be precise.

hi all does anyone know how much it costs to have a sensor/inside of camera cleaned at a pro centre? i had it cleaned at jessops 2 mths ago it cost me £50 and its worse than ever with 2 hairs inside.would it be cheaper to get a k50 body only? thanks

It really doesn't need cleaning at a pro centre, it's easy to do it yourself with a bit of planning and care. First thing to try would be a rocket blower to remove the hairs. If this doesn't do the trick, get some Pecpads and make swabs with lollipop sitcks squared off at the end, wrap the pad aro...

Why not clean your sensor yourself? Cheaper and really quite simple if you follow instructions :D I always obtain my cleaning kits from: Just Limited, The Old Shop, Hook, Swindon, SN4 EA. Or, if you go on their web site (www.cameraclean.co.uk) you can look up the correct kit for your camera ...

The viewfinder on my K30 is mucky I just ignore it, Most dslr cameras will get dust and crap in the view finder my mate has a single bit of dust in his Nikon D7000 and it drove him round the bend until I showed him mine,I could take out the screen and clean it or even replace it as I have a spare o...

K5 won't turn on
It's a long shot given the circumstances but have you tried cleaning the power contacts in the camera (where the battery connects) ?

Corroded contacts
Unfortunately, as I've discovered, the corrosion can run along the contacts to the circuit board and then, I'm afraid, it is normally game over. That said, I use a fibreglass pen (designed for the purpose) to clean contacts. Worth a try. It'll reach the contacts without dismantling. This sort...
