DUST!??? But no worries =)

I dont have the canon camera but I was amazed by the use of vacuum cleaner. Never had the problem with the compact Q2 but with M10 or Nikon I had dust in the sensor. It usually goes away using one of those "pears" to clean the inside of our ears... I use a new one only with air, of course!!!!

I hope this trick turns out useful for some other gear then =)

And most important, saves some money, and trouble, and time! To send my camera to service would have taken several weeks. There used to be a local camera service here at Tampere, but it seem to have closed. And now camera like this would have become sent all the way to Germany, and take few weeks.

I have the same problem with Nikon...
With Leica I phone them, they order an transporter's pick up, it comes back within the week and they do not charge. But I am not doing it while I can solve the problem by myself...

Leica, Rolls Royce of cameras! =)

But I can't afford to buy one. I have to settle for a "budget Leica" =D

I see, it worked ;-)

Yes, it did! =)

I use => THIS and it works quite well and it's easy to take with you.
You want me to order one for you? ;-))

I have one already.

But the point is that blowing is not enough. One need to suck air out from one end or side of the optics to really get the air circulate inside, and get the dust particles removed. Actually blowing may even get the dust go deeper inside.

Thanks for the tip, I have no dust spots yet on my G5X, but two bad ones on the Canon Ixus 100S, I tried and one dustspot disappeared, but the second one stayed. Maybe the vacuum cleaner hose is too big for the small lens, I will make the hose opening smaller, let us see.

Let's hope it works. Panasonic Lumix is actually much better sealed. I was going to give it the same treatment, but found out there's no need.

Be careful!

You haven't seen the dust on my sensor, it's hard work to clone it all out;-) I meant to take the camera to the shop but with Covid I avoid the inner city...I'm afraid I don't dare to clean it myself.
