2019-03-21· The small aperture makes any dust particles appear more well defined on the sensor (which is also good to know if you get dust on your sensor during a shoot and want to minimize its appearance; if that happens, just open up the aperture). Set the ISO such that you’ll create a normal exposure for the ambient light in the room in which you’re working (though try to keep it fairly …
Air blowers are great accessories for making sure that any dust and debris is blown away from the sensor and out of the camera.

CAMERA SENSOR CLEANING. If you're using an SLR camera, you'll eventually encounter spots due to a dirty camera sensor. If it hasn't happened yet, don't worry — it will.

2017-04-04· This will prevent dust particles from landing on the DSLR sensor and lens optics. 2. Never use canned air.

2012-06-08· I seem to have dust on my camera. Where I don't know. When I zoom in with my lens, black orbs appear in some images. But how can I tell if it's on the sensor, the side of the lens going into the camera, inside the lens, or on the end of the lens? If it's how the sensor, how do I clean the...
A sure fire way to check if there is dust on your image sensor is to take a picture on a blank white wall. Put your lens into manual focus and drop it to the closest focus or infinity. Ensure that the wall is not in focus or dust / imperfections on it may appear in the picture.
2009-10-08· Is there a way to tell by looking at the image if the dust is on the sensor or on the lens itself? I can't really tell by looking at the lens or sensor.

Hairs and fibers on the sensor: Damaged coating in front of the sensor due to the application of the wrong cleaning fluid.: Grease or oil on the sensor smeared across the sensor after a dry cleaning
2015-10-29· Dust on the lens rear element will never be so well defined, won't be aperture dependent, and will be visible throuh the viewfinder, while sensor dust, of course, is only in the picture. Dust on the front element won't be visible as specks at all, it will decrease contrast in a more vaguely defined area.

Think you had dirt on your lens? No my friend, the dirt is on your camera's sensor and happens most often when you change lenses. Actually, the dirt or dust is on a piece of glass in front of the sensor called the low-pass filter but we commonly refer to that nasty stuff as sensor dust. You can remove the dust from the image by employing various software tools (in Photoshop that means the ...
A sensor loupe is a small magnifying device that allows you to see the dust on the sensor as you’re cleaning. It’s very convenient, as you can see where you need to clean right away—you don’t have to take a photo, check it, then take off the lens and clean more. This convenience comes at a price, though—sensor loupes aren’t cheap.

2015-05-20· Hi, I just got a G1W and upon turning it on met with a spot dead center on the screen. I can tell it's not the screen since the blue no file screen looks fine so it must be something on the lens/sensor.

When using lower-end or budget zoom lenses, the simple act of repeatedly zooming the lens in and out can “inhale” dust particles into the lens, which can then over time work their way into your camera. Once inside, they can settle on the mirror or sensor.
2013-05-03· You can't see the sensor through the viewfinder, so that's a separate issue, most likely dust on the mirror or focus screen, maybe in the viewfinder itself. Get yourself a rocket blower and give it a good blow, then get a visible dust swab kit and give the sensor a clean. Don't shoot at such high apertures, f/11 is plenty for almost all situations.
