Speck on internal mirror!

[gongkia2000]

Its not on the CMOS sensor itself, but on the mirror that leads to the view finder? How to remove? Thanks

Are you talking of the penta prisim mirror? To clean that your need to take out the focusing screen. I wouldn't advise that. Send it to the service centre.

Well if you're really daring remove the focusing screen which is held by a clip. Use a blower to remove the dust. Do this at your own risk. I'm not responsible if you damage the penta prisim mirror. Best let the experts handle it.

well i can see the speck its just on the prism in front of the CCD. could i just use a optical cloth to reach in to clean it?

gongkia2000 I think you're refering to the main mirror. That being the case just blow it off with a blower. Don't clean with optical paper as the mirror is front coated and may be sratch if you are not careful cleaning it with optical papper.
