I decided it was about time I checked out my Nikon D800 for dust with the AFs 80-400mm f 4.5-5.6 G ED lens. So first of all formatted the 2 memory cards. Ok ready to start and I find best is to take a photo of the sky as it is a bit grey at the moment. Right picture taken and onto the computer. Damn at the f4.8 on the camera yes it was there the dreaded dust. So out with the blower artic butterfly and the loupe , after cleaning the sensor or so I thought I would do another check against the sky after formatting the memory cards,yes clean sensor ???? erm no. Now set the camera at f40 not concerned with shutter speed or anything else, and yes dust and small hair showed up. should have used that setting in the first place and saved a lot of time and trouble.
So started the whole proceedure again but also this time gave the lens a good clean as well. camera at f40 lens cleaned and decent bit of sky to shoot at and yippee at last not and dust or hairs in sight.. Without the loupe and artic butterfly let alone the rocket blower ( which i don't really like using)
I doubt if i could have done the job.
Just got to do the same with the D300 nikon now, don't you just love getting dust on a sensor????
Well D300 checked an dust free, that saves a bit of time at least
