Foss, why dont u set the camera to manually clean the sensor and try a can of compressed air? That should help.

[foss]

thanks for the responses so far guys.

The camera cleans the sensor automatically once you turn off the camera.

Will try the compressed air. Sigh

[lighthammer]

anyone has any experience with Sigma lenses and warranty?

After rally today I noticed a spot in my pictures. The lens has no marks or scratches.

That's a piece of dust/debris on your sensor dey dude.... not the lens.
Everytime you take a shot, the mirror flips up and exposes the sensor, and BUDOW!! Dust has a chance to settle on your sensor.

Also, everytime you change over a lens, dust gets a chance to enter the camera and create ugly, filthy, horrible little black specs on your pictures (especially visible on white backgrounds and small apertures).


Heres what you do:
- read up your manual or do a google search on how to get your camera on "Mirror lock up mode". This basically gets your mirror to stay up in the "open" position so the sensor is exposed to the outside world.
- get yourself one of these:

and use it to forcefully blow on the sensor. It's a baby nose aspirator; used to suck mucus and other crap out of a baby's nose when it's got the sniffles - excellent for blowing stuff too! (if you want, you can go on amazon.com and get yourself a rocket blower for like, $14 USD but the Baby nose aspirator is about $20 in Superpharm). Give the sensor a good few blows with the squeezy thingy, about 6-8 hard blows should be enough.
- close back the sensor (usually by turning off the camera) and then test again for spots (set the aperture to f/22 and then take a pic of a white background or the sky).



Here's a lil youtube video to help:

i don't really advise that you use canned air, cuz the first few seconds of the blast of air will come out with moisture of it (boyle's law - sudden decompression of high-pressure air causes temp to drop, and thus can cause mini ice crystals or condensation to form on the sensor - LOW RISK but still not worth it!)

Using a squeezy blower thingy would be more suitable.

[Dragist]

^^^ Yup on that no to compressed air get a hand blower I have a Giottos brand .

The guys at canon sg told me that and I was like

[evo_chic]

ah sunny sunflower..

Lovely, i just wished the middle of the sunflower had a bit more detail, dunno if thats in the editing.

Or is it the focus? Had a similar problem with pics of a flower that I took

It is the focus because the pic wasn't edited. I'm not an actual photographer, nor do I have the perfect settings, I reset all to default and I don't know how to fix it

Um...my sensor cleaning method:
1) Hover a vacum cleaner nozzle just above the mount while having the camera on a long exposure like 30 seconds
2) Lock up mirror and use rocket blower
3) Lock up mirror and use a lens cleaner wipe, fresh out of the packet, wrapped around a q-tip that is almost dried out but just a little moist, to prevent streaking.

Foss, the rocket blower thing cheap and safe. Use everytime you come back from rally. Also, dust on the rear lens element can make that problem you are having, but it had to be a pretty big particle to cause that. Remember your picture is inverted, so the spot location on the sensor is not the same as on the picture.

[Terran]

I like the last shot, lighthammer!

[DVSTT]

Or buy a lil protective skin for your cam foss, I have one on mine.

UPDATE:

I initially used the compressed air after reading first post that suggested it.

The spot has gotten smaller..Also seeing other pieces of dust showing now.

will look into rocket blower and other options suggested above.. thanks for the advice!

Lighthammer, the rocket blower is much more forceful than the aspirator.

Hey guys i need some help, i broke my Canon 55-250 IS rear lens mount this past weekend



The lens works well when i hold it against the camera body. it seems to be just the mount broken. I've been doing some reading and from what i gather it seem to be an easy DIY fix

i found the part on ebay but there are different variations in thicknesses from 1.9mm to 3.1mm

ebay link here

Does anybody know what the different thicknesses are about and has anyone on here done this sort of repair before?

Any sorta response would be appreciated

It is a crappy cheap lens. Save yourself the troubble and buy a new lens or a used one.

[cornfused]

55-250 mm crappy and cheapy , I may agree on the cheap part but do tell us a better lens delivering better resluts in the equivalent focal range also in the same price bracket . The only real problem with this lens is the small range of appeture , but this seems to be the same for the 75-300mm also . A better option may be the 18-125 (smaller range ) or the 18-200mm but both are in a more expensive price bracket.

How about this?

[Aaron 2NR]

Great lens never regret my investment into it

[cornfused]

As I said similar pricing level , very sharp yes but a constant fstop is not really for me neither is a very heavy lens with lens creep . For the budget conscious those trade offs may be something to live with but the 50-250 is by no means a crappy lens . I own more than a few lenses but have not made the "jump" to L glass .

[ShIvAm]

The 55-250 is a great lens for the price, i don't see the point in comparing it with any L-Glass

im guessing nobody ever tried this repair themselves, oh well....
