Any idea how to get rid of these without damaging anything? :D
 
If your camera has a built in "Clean Sensor" option - try it. If not or if you still have problems the next thing to try is a "Rocket" blower and if that doesn't shift it all you'll need to do a contact / wet clean with, for example, swabs and cleaning fluid.

I've tried cleaning mode. It shifted a few of them, but the majority remain. I'll try getting a rocket blower. It might sound stupid, but which areas do I need to aim at with it? The actual sensor, or the mirror?
 
The mirror doesn't matter. Nothing on the mirror will show up in shots.

What you need to do is select whatever option moves the mirror out of the way and holds the shutter open and aim the rocket at the sensor.

Yep adgreed with the above,if this does not work,maybe a pro clean :)
 
A sensor clean is normally around £30-35 depending on where you go. I'm lucky in the fact that I've had a 550D for over a year and a 7D and 5D2 for around 3 months and as of now I've never had any visible dust on my sensors. I keep checking regularly but they are all clean as a whistle.
 
Do it yourself. Kits are relatively expensive, but overall cost much cheaper than getting someone else to do it.
