QUOTE(shukrie @ Jul 20 2012, 04:52 PM) .. use cotton bud .. i always use cotton bud if my blower cant remove the dust .. u need extra careful .. cotton bud ? wont destroy the sensor? QUOTE(zstan @ Jul 20 2012, 02:06 PM) ok, wil try and ask them. if register warranty online how i prove my warranty status? print screen the webpage?QUOTE(samsungfreak @ Jul 20 2012, 04:32 PM) Dust will always get into sensor, you just need to just the blower to blow it occasionally. thx for ur tips The reason why dust is so visible in this shot it with f13 which has a massive depth of field equivalent to 20 in full frame. For NEX system, you get the peak sharpness at f5.6 and try not to go over f5.6 unless you are trying to do starburst. So if you shoot the above pic with f5.6, not only the dust is not visible, but your picture will be a lot sharper. i always use Auto mode, so i don know about this |

QUOTE(nlik @ Jul 20 2012, 10:11 PM) Cotton bud at your own risk and probably depends on what brands.. as this may leave even MORE tiny strands of follicles on the sensor. It won't destroy the sensor as you are wiping the low pass filter only. The sensor is behind this filter. I've seen in foreign forums claiming sensor wet wipes do a better job. thanks Send it back to Sony. If under warranty it's totally free and no need to bring any documentation because they check the serial numbers on the product. Easier to remove battery and memory card before you hand it over, otherwise they will and u have to take those back anyway. They bubble wrap your camera during transportation. After warranty I think it is RM20 only. The long wait is probably the only pain u will have to endure. Then after that learn to be more selective where to swap lenses haha.. |

QUOTE(kioku @ Jul 29 2012, 10:22 PM) According to Sony Service Centre at The Curve, cleaning service is free for units under warranty. just now i ask the promoter about this and she pretty sure it charge, just not sure by how much... anyway thanks for ur info, will try and ask another outlet Includes body, lens or sensor. Only difference is the duration it will take. do u know how much if done that outside? |

QUOTE(kioku @ Jul 30 2012, 01:17 PM) Was at the service centre in The Curve to fix another camera, and when I asked one of the senior attendant, she said that it will be FOC as long as the camera is still under warranty. I am from jb Maybe you could ask directly at The Curve, since you would need to send it there as well for the cleaning service. Opens daily from 10am till 10pm, thus, very convenient.. There's another service centre in KLCC as well. |

QUOTE(albnok @ Aug 8 2012, 05:48 PM) When you put an extension tube on, you lose infinity focus. The only things you can focus on, are close to your lens. Try holding a finger in front of the lens (with adapter and extension tube) and bring it slowly closer to you - you should see it slowly getting into focus! try real close still cant focus...i wil try another MD lens later... |
