Dust in the viewfinder

I have some dust in the viewfinder. It's not a huge deal, the pictures aren't affeted, but for future reference is there anything I can do on my own? And if not who do I send it to? Directly to Canon?

Rocket Blower, blow it out

Hmm Im clueless.
Its not on the external portion of the viewfinder. Its inside.
How would I go about fixing that?
Sorry but Im a n00b.

My advice is to just forget about it.
Plenty of people end up making things worse trying to get rid of it.
Look at the bright side - if you can see it in the viewfinder it is not on the sensor.
If you really want to get rid of it ,look up Katzeye of Haouda focus screens - they provide instructions how to remove the focus screen so you can get in there and clean it. But chances are you will just add more dust.
Or take it to Canon and do without your camera (unless they will do it on the spot)

The guy at the camera store said the same thing but I got concerned.
Cuz I noticed two more tiny specks yesterday.
Thanks for the advice :]

K the dust is getting worse cuz Im shooting a lot at a garden center.

Where exatly do I position the blower to get inside the viewfinder???

Sorry for the stupid question, if it is stupid....

The dust is on the focusing screen. Take your lens off. Hold the camera facing you. Tilt the bottom of the camera towards you and look at the inside top of the camera. That's the focus screen. It's a white opaque plate with the focus points etched on it.

Just blow it gently with a blower. That should remove the dust. Don't blow too hard because you can blow dust up on top of the screen. If that happens, you'll have to remove it in order to clean it. That gets to be a tricky job, best suited for a Canon service tech.


Just use a blower. Brushing it will probably make things worse.

And - whatever you do - don't try to 'clean' the mirror.

It's a very delicate piece of equipment (much more delicate than the sensor or focusing screen), easily scratched, and will give you AF problems if you lock it out of alignment.

My solution was that I learned to live with the dust in there....

Ty for the advice. I might leave this potentially messy procedure alone. The dust isn't horribly bad but if I keep shooting here its going to get worse so Im eventually going to have to do it. I am wondering if the "local camera store" (expensive) will clean it?

Just seen your post, i replied to a post similar to yours.
