#1, dust on mirror WILL NOT affect the photos.
#2, dust is EVERYWHERE, NO WHERE is dust free. so you either learn to live with it or every now and than send your camera to service center. |

if blower didn't do, gently brushing it off with a clean soft non static lens brush. |

Re: HELP!!! DUST ON D4O mirror thingy!!!
Just get one of those Rocket Blowers. It should be powerful enough to blow off any of the dust particles.
Do not ever touch the mirror. Nikon DSLRs AF depend on a tiny slit in the mirror for the focusing. Any extra pressure exerted on your mirror will therefore affect your camera's AF system.

never touch the sensor even if is with the tip of your blower.

Re: HELP!!! DUST ON D4O mirror thingy!!!
 I have the same problem as TS after trying out my brother-in-law's 18-200mm for an event, dunno whether the repeated zooming from 18-200mm caused a lot of pressure differentials in the camera and hence the new dusts -_- |

Re: HELP!!! DUST ON D4O mirror thingy!!!
Definitely Rocket Blower, am using one too.
The air pressure coming out from the nozzle is enough to clear away most dust. Got mine at CP Marina. |

Re: HELP!!! DUST ON D4O mirror thingy!!!
let's not be too anal about dust.
if it doesn't affect your photograph, if it isn't very apparent in the viewfinder, don't bother with it. like one of my teachers used to say: "not itchy, don't scratch" |

One point to note. Never Never use a scotch tape to remove it from the mirror.
