Re: Dust on my sensor? Please advice

That's sensor dust. I never worry about it all that much unless it becomes visible (stopping down to small apertures makes it more visible).

I have a very casual relationship with dust. When it needs removing, I blow it off with canned gas.

<cue the people having kittens>

Apparently this is a VERY BAD THING to do but I'm just a little rebel by nature, so I do it anyway.

Turn on sensor cleaning in your menus, it will cut down the number of times you need to clean the sensor.
