1DmkII hoover? Warning 200K pic

[ThatPhilBrettGuy]

I'm assuming it's dust I'm getting here? Never had an issue with it on the 10D but the 1DmkII has ate a few big bits already. I can't see anything on the sensor but I assume that's normal? I'm a bit new to this dust problem...

Here's the example shot :-



Thanks

Phil

Yep, that's dust. A particular problem when shooting airshows

I know what the D on my 20D stands for...Dyson!

I have to clean mine EVERY day, sometimes more than once!

PS - at least I've got ISO 100 though

Sign, now if we used some kind of changable plastic stuff to take pictures, this wouldn't be such an issue.

Ah you spotted the ISO800 faux pas? I was trying to get a bird in flight coming out of a nest box so had everything set for fast fast fast, when this chap buzzed over.

The 1DmkII's have an ISO L setting which is about ISO50 too...

Right, a bit of search time as I remember some threads on sensor cleaning a while back.

Thanks chaps.

You should have stayed around with the other spotters Photoshop is your friend..... bringing the plastic fantastic out to play tonight?

Phil,
That wasnt aimed at you, it was for the D70 owners

It's dirty as a dirty thing and there's no sun here either now . If you took any pics it'd look like the Noble entry into the WRC! Worth it? Hhhmmm.

Some interesting stuff, thanks.

I'm still trying to get my head around the D70 / ISO200 thing. Good news for suppliers of ND filters I guess.

The 1D mk1 had a base ISO of 200 too, but you could go to 100 by setting a custom function, reduced dynamic range though.

As usual, Nikon 1 generation behind Canon
