Sifus,
I'm faced with the dust-on-sensor problem.. I'm using a 400D, and yes as some said before, the dust-cleaning function does not really work like a wonder.. Here's the attached image which I shot purposely to check on dust specks...



Hope someone can help to explain what to do, step-by-step, because I'm afraid I might destroy my unit by doing a self-experimentied cleaning. Is the use of a blower sufficient enough to solve this issue? Appreciate some advise

the photoshop it off cos it's almost always impossible to get rid of everyone speck of dust..

Please use Canon 400D "Dust Delete Data" feature to remove the stubborn spots.

Check out GoldKnight's thread. He got's got a link on the dust bunnies thingy.

Mmm.. Any experienced sifus did an y hands-on sensor cleaning/blowing here?

lao eh
then the dust cleaning systems ;p is really like none

That's why lah... Damn tulan now.. I think tomorrow wanna send it to Canon Service Centre and make a big fuss, so that they'd do a free cleaning for me...

what if he shot 439,098,326 photos while on holiday in europe?
photoshop every single one of it?

I've got no words to describe this... @#$#@!!!!!

wah lao eh

where u change ur lens?
in the desert?

almost same as mine
but u can always set the right focal length and aperture so they are invisible
but the best thing to do is to clear them bunnies

wait till i get my tools dem bunnies

this is serious. i got to say, this is the first time i see this amount of dust on the sensor. your sensor have more amount of dust than a press photographer's.

how did it go inside?

1 time in the car (yeah, excited newbie) 2 more times indoors (in my room, with fan off)... Maybe the dust in my car screwed thigs up....

I am pissed due to the fact that they claim that their Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit are able to 'automatically removedust adhering to the imaging sensor'. #$%$#@!!


How leh? I pro oledi or not? Hahahaha!!!


Beats me my bro... Now I'm back with Oly SP-700... At least for another 2 weeks..

its the car
u kenot imagine the amount of dust inside the car ambient air.....
now u do anyway

400D shakes dust off the sensor, notice the word shake, not remove
like how u shake ur buttocks, but not removing it

how do i get rid of dust in the lense.


my 18-200 has only been with me like about 5 month + and therz dust inside the lense... >_<

noted that, never ever changed lens in the car again

imagine this, FRIM - raining....need to change lens... how?

pc fair surrounded by thousands
also changing la
hehe
