Jun 09, 2014 15:00 | #2 It looks like a hair or piece of lint on the sensor, although it's unusual to see that at an aperture as small as f/8. If it gets worse at smaller apertures (larger f/stop numbers), that would increase the probability. If so, turn on manual sensor cleaning, hold the camera lens opening down, and blow it out. DO NOT USE CANNED AIR. Use something like a rocket blower. Check out my photos at http://dkoretz.smugmug.com

Thank you I'm glad you got away with it but man that was dumb. The above advise about using a blower was given for good reason. It is incredibly easy to damage your sensor. You really should not go anywhere near the sensor with something hard like tweezers. Dan Marchant

well, guess I'm an idiot. I however did not come anywhere near the sensor surface, as the hair was sticking out quite a ways. Now the question is how the heck did it get in there!?!?!

Jun 11, 2014 15:17 | #11 also, isn't the sensor covered by a low pass filter? seems like it would be tough to damage the sensor itself?

Jun 11, 2014 15:28 | #12 also, gjl, thank you for the great tip. Was able to see exactly what is on my sensor. Few dust spots, but nothing too bad yet!
