Hi!

First follow your camera's instructions. With my Canon D30, I set the menu

to Sensor Cleaning. Be sure you have a fresh battery!

Then You try to blow the dust off with a blower. I use the Lenspen blower:

Watch the choice of your blower. Some have some type of powder inside as a

result of manufacturing. Buy one for SENSORS.

Take anothe pic as instructed above (f22, etc). If dust persists then go
to:

and

I use both of the above, when needed. I have encountered no problems.
