Title: First Dslr... Dust on sensor?
Post by: BJD on 11 June 2012, 20:48

I ordered my first dslr online last week, Canon 500D. While i was waiting on it coming i decided to study some "beginner guides" and "how to' etc.

It arrived today, so... first thing i done was read the manual. Battery charged, memory card etc... While putting the lens on i pointed the camera down so dust couldn't fall onto the sensor?

Took a few test shots.....

Is the black dot dust on the sensor? Its in the same position on every photo.

Comments and advice please  :sad:

Is it easy to do yourself or can you cause damage? Any tips?  :smiley:
