First call is probably a 'rocket blower' with a valve & filter that stops more dust being blown out onto the sensor.

However, it sounds as though the spots are bit more stubborn. I use Digipads and Eclipse fluid (I think both are available from somewhere like WEX in Norwich - and elsewhere too). Ensure you get the right sized pad (1.5x crop sensor). I assume you know to go into the menu and find the sensor clean option that enables mirror up and shutter locked open for you to do this. Also to ensure your battery is fully charged; you don't want a battery failure that closes the shutter whilst you have a pad in there!

No doubt others will suggest their preferred method.

Hope this helps!

NB - just googled digipad and seems they have their own shop as well

Love 'em! Great set of images

Thanks for posting that George - still great detail on show!

Some terrific images here - not all my cup of tea, but most are with 1,3 & 9 being my favourites. Another reminder to do some experimenting of my own!

Only just seen these - a lovely series of images; it is a great lens! Hope you get good quality next time when you remember the TC!

I think on page 2 RevRobert says he has already made an acquisition - a K3

Hi Phil - and welcome. Look forward to your input!

Nicely spotted sir! Are they actually 'Waterside' or are they being built on a flood plain?

A slightly belated welcome from one rev to another!
In respect of that last question - some questions back with a couple of things to try.

Is the Shake Reduction on? Press INFO button to see on rear screen. If you are trying to follow a moving subject, then the SR will cause blur. If it is a static subject, then SR should (obviously) help

Also - what lens are you using? It could be that in auto focus mode you need to apply a tweak to the SF fine adjustment as the lens might be either front or back focussing (read handbook for this). If you take a picture of something with layers of depth, is any of it sharp - ie is something nearer or further away to the point you focussed on sharp? This will probably mean the fine focus tweak is needed.

Another test to do; try putting camera on a tripod, selecting two second timer from the 'drive-mode' button on the 4-way pad on the back of the camera (this will reduce camera vibrations to a minimum and also turn off the SR). Select live view and manual focus. Then digitally zoom in on a subject using the Live View and manually focus the lens to get the subject sharp. Take picture and then check for sharpness. IF this is still not right then there may be a problem with the camera.

I hope others can maybe help shed some light
