I've been reading this forum for a month or so and have gained a lot of knowledge from here. But I've done a really dumb thing. My Canon DSLR is only a couple of months old and while taking some pictures of the sky, I noticed some dust spots. I tried the normal sensor cleaning with a bulb blower, and it removed most of the spots. But one spot was stubborn. I tried several times to remove it, and made the stupid mistake of blowing into the camera to try and remove it. Now I have moisture spots on my sensor. I know this was really stupid... so I won't need reminded of that lol. Is there any way to take care of this myself? Or will this require sending the camera back to Canon. I've done a search and read lots of articles on removing dust, but nothing on removing these moisture spots I have. I would appreciate any help you folks can provide.

If you call any stores they will tell you to send it back to Canon.....unless its major problem, I say do it yourself using the multitude of online help available. However, I would also have to say that if you honestly don't feel confident that you can do it yourself with a little instruction, then don't take the risk. If you consider yourself a good self learner, then give it a try......
