ukrainekid Member 59 posts Joined Nov 2009 Location: Miami, FL More info | Mar 20, 2012 21:48 | #1 I recently noticed that I have a white spec coming out on my pictures. At first I thought it was my lens so when I swapped out lenses and cleaned them as well the spot remained in the same location. The spot can be faintly seen in live view but when you zoom into the pic the spot is there. My GF dropped my camera like 2 months ago but the camera has worked perfect. Could this be a result of the drop ? or dust ? Let me know what you think and I can start figuring it out step by step.

Mar 20, 2012 22:02 | #5 Check your manual on how to manually clean the sensor, remove the lens and set the camera to lock up the mirror then you can have a good look at the sensor and maybe use a puffer to remove any dust you may find.

There's also a sensor cleaning mode where your camera will raise the mirror and shutter and you can take a look but sine things are incredibly small and invisible to the naked eye 5d3,17-40,24-105,24 1.4,85 1.4,70-200 2.8 is ii
