How to remove dust from sensor (300D) ?

[chrisinthesun]

After checking some of the photos I took this evening, I've noticed 3-4 "blobs", visible at F12-F20.

I did a sensor clean, and used a bulb blower to try and clear them. I seem to have gotten rid of the 3 largest blobs, but one still remains, and try as I might, the blower is not clearing it.

Its only really visible at about F12 upwards..

What are my options here?

I will give you the addresses of some Internet sites that can help you to choose your way to clean. Some have pictures to help:

Hope that help!

I also seem to have a small hair that is visible through the viewfinder.

I know its not on the lense, as if I remove the lens, the hair is still visible.

It also does not seem to go out of focus when I zoom - so does that mean that the hair is most likely IN the viewfinder assembly, rather than on my mirror or sensor? I don't think it shows up on photos, but I need to check some more after work today....

Help!

It's the only way to go. Cut down a spatula to size. Wrap pec pad around it. Add a few drops of eclipse. Wipe. May need to be repeated a few times but this gets your sensor absolutely clean without blowing the dust around.

Hi

I have a bit of dust on my 300d sensor, just wondering whether you use the pec pads on your sensor and not the sensor swabs (because the sensor swabs are WAY more than the pec pads)...

I am looking to get the eclipse fluid the little 'wand' and sensor swabs, but if the pec pads work as well, then i will get that instead
