Need advice to clean the inside or 'vestibule' (as i've heard it described!) of my DSLR.
Whilst using a blower to remove a hair from the mirror, i have been unlucky enough to now have a spec of dirt lodged in there.
I'm not sure exactly where the spec is (due to the amount of mirrors etc) but it is visible at the bottom of the viewfinder, when looking through the viewfinder.
I've only tried the blower again to try to remove it, but it's being stubborn and won't move.
I've tried searching the forum for tutorials, and my camera manual only explains how to clean the sensor so i'm all ears for some help!...



...help!:)
 
Mate, it's just dust.
It's a fact of life.
The best help anyone can give you is to leave it there and forget about. You won't see it in your images because it's not on your sensor.
You will drive yourself nuts if go chasing every little speck that gets into your camera or lens.
Aftere a while, you'll forget that it's there and won't even notice it.
 
Maybe it is just dust. i thought it was dirt because it's very dark, dust i thought would look more transparent.
Not the end of the world i know, i'm just a little annoyed as i'm so careful when changing lenses...oh well.:shrug:
