Cleaned ST550 Sensor
1

I have an ST550 that I bought used last year, dirt cheap. And speaking of dirt, somehow it had gotten a speck on the sensor and was causing a dark spot that got worse when zooming.

Last night I took the back off, flipped the LCD panel over, removed the 3 small screws holding the sensor to the lens assembly, flipped it back and there it was. I took a cotton swab and removed the debris, then cleaned the sensor with alcohol (I didn't have the suggested sensor cleaner fluid I have read about). Reassembled and it's good as new!

It took about 15 minutes because my cats were helping me!
