I noticed some speckles of dust while i was looking through the camera's viewfinder some days ago!How can i get rid of it? It scares me a bit to touch the inside of the camera but i was thinking of wipping the mirror softly with some microfiber.Is the dust that see on the front mirror or the mirror that points up,mean its situated on the camera's inside ceiling :rolleyes: yeah i dont know how to explain say this properly!

DO NOT TOUCH THE MIRROR WITH ANYTHING

Sorry to shout but it is for your own good.

Invest in a "Rocket Blower" and give it a good puff.

I have this black speck that seems to be stuck on the same glass where the AF points are. The mirror is spotless so I know it's not that.

No matter how much I blow with one of those little rocket blower type of things it just won't come off. It's kind of driving me nuts because it's a nice size speck.

well...to late! i just sweeped it a couple of times softly with a blower brush...hope i didn't do much damage but ill never touch it again from now on! What's a "rocket blower" ? The blower bruch i have is useless in this situation as it put more spekles of dust wherever i blow it rather than cleaning the area! Canned air maybe?

Canned Air is way too powerful.
