Nikon D70 spots on the photo

[hstn_asia]

Hi guys, need some advise. I found the dark spot on my photos recently (exact same spot on every shot). I checked the lenses and no dust was found. I follow the procedure in the manaul to open the filter and found a dark spot object on my CCD. :bigeyes: the manul say I can try using a blower.

Question is, where can I get that blower? And how much will it cost? If I just walked into the camera shop and tell them I wan to buy the blower will they understand?

Wow.. the manual sure makes it sound easy. Better becareful. Once there a scratch on the CCD... well.. time to act blur :dunno: and claim the warranty

Hi hstn_asia, a good blower will cost about $10~$15 depending on the brand.
If you go Cathay Photo or TCW, they will defintely understand.

just a question. After blowing.. where does the dust go? I'm sure some will come OUT of the camera but a lot more will go further in? But most importantly it's just OFF the CCD?

If this is your first attempt at cleaning the CCD, please do lots of researching before you do anything. Any mistake can be potentially disastrous! One good site is:

if u do not know how to, better send it to nikon singapore for them to clean your ccd. it's free if your cam is under warranty
