I've tried getting dust off of the sensor on my Fuji F30 and it's nearly impossible to do. Your best bet is to have it serviced, unfortunately. Oddly, the worse dust on my F30's sensor seems to have magically disappeared from the sensor, but not because of anything I was trying! I wouldn't call it "fatal" though - it just requires someone with a clean room and calm nerves to open 'er up to the point that the sensor can be accessed. Not for the faint of heart. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
