Was at Chester Zoo today, and just happened to point the camera skyward while looking through the viewfinder (as you do), and noticed a little blemish.
At first I thought it was on the filter, so the lens pen/brush came out.
Still there.
Took the filter off and cleaned the lens and other side of the filter, still there.
Cleaned the viewfinder, still there.
Took the lens off, not on the back of the lens.
Had a look through the camera with the lens off, still there
I had a look at the mirror, and it doesn't seem to be on there (not that I can see).
However, the thing is, it's not coming out on any of the shots, it's just bloody annoying when I see it smack bang on the rule of thirds juncture.
When I first saw it I honestly though it was a very tiny fly sat on my filter.
I would love to leave it there, but I just can't it is very very annoying, espeically now I know it's there. And to say this is a camera that I bought on Tuesday makes it a bit annoying. It could have been there since then, but I only noticed it today, so I'm not sure.
For the record, I haven't had the lens off since I got the camera. I bought it, came home, and put the lens on (while keeping the camera pointed down etc).
I tried turning "Shoot without card" on, then lowered the shot quality and put it in high speed mode, thinking if it is on the mirror, it would move it slightly. Not budged.
Still there, and still annoying, especially now I can see a similar mark (but much smaller) at the opposite edge of the viewfinder.
I'm not competent enough to even think about cleaning the sensor, but as I said anyway, it doesn't show up on my shots (took a few test shots, noting down points of where the mark should be, for reference).
Anyone else experienced this? Especially as an SLR noob in his first week :icon_redf
