Here ya go, with pictures.

Taken at f/22 and f/16, MF-infinity and auto leveled- Cntrl+Shift+L on PS CS2. This shows you the scope of the NON problem.

Tools: CopperHill Imaging 14mm SensorSwipe (for APS-C sensors), Eclipse Cleaning Solution (Original not E2, E2 is for the cameras with self-cleaning ding dong), PecPads, scotch tape, giotto blower, some good old bollywood music and a relatively clean desk.

Put camera is sensor cleaning mode and squirted a few puffs of air using Giotto to dislodge any easily removable dust bunnies. And then did one sweep using the wet cleaning method

Can you see? Looks good, but not good enough. Can you see?

Second Pass and this time I cheated, I know from experince that most of the crud is swept to the edges of the frame, so I did the usual wet cleaning and I also cleaned the edges (in a rectangular, anti-clockwise manner) with a PecPad wrapped on a QTip. Can you see? I just messed it up even more? Look at the crud? Those streaks, that crud? OMG!!!

So I wrapped another PecPad on the sensor sweep and repeated the first pass. And this is what I got. I can live with this at f/16 (coz I don’t plan to shoot below f/8 over the coming weeks)

Its really that easy. Even a mathematician, statistician or even an Oracle can do it.

Post up a pic @ f/22, MF infinity. If you have CS2 then auto level it.

Also I suggest seeing what the same spot looks like @ f/16. I don’t go smaller than f/16 in actual application, f/22 is used to benchmark the cleaning. If the spot does not show up at f/16 then you are good to go.

If the spot is at the edge of the frame then you might have to wrap some Pec Pads on a Q-tip (or buy a $40 edge wand) see if that helps.

Remember it will take you about 2-3 tries before it becomes routine.

Don’t worry about not having a DSLR. You have started out the right way and by using the M mode you are actually learning about 90% of the stuff you need when you finally make you transition to DSLR.

When you posted these pics you resized them and scrubbed off the EXIF data, so its pretty difficult to tell you what went wrong. If you can post the EXIF data on both these pics it would help.

Cleaning your CMOS sensor

Ya know its very distressing to see otherwise intelligent photogs being so paranoid about cleaning their CMOS sensor.

It’s really NOT rocket science. There are enough and more validated tools and methods out there to do it safely and effectively.

Using the ultrasonic sensor is not the the-all and end-all in keeping the sensor if you guys (at least the Canon users) hang out on Photography-on-the.net* you will know that even the XTi is no great shakes when it comes to keeping dust out even with its so called cleaning system. And its illogical to expect the 40D to be any different.

Its really very simple to WET clean:

1) Practice good camera hygine. Use a giotto blower regularly to clean the sensor (this is called the dry cleaning method) this will take out most of the crud that the so called Canon Sensor cleaning system would have taken out anyway.

2) Invest in a the RIGHT sensor wand/swip for your CMOS sensor (14mm for the APS-C bodies like 20/30/40/400D)

3) Invest it the RIGHT cleaning solution. Eclipse (original) for bodies without built in sensor cleaning and Eclipse 2 for ones with the ultrasonic sensor cleaning.

4) Buy some Pec*Pads.

5) Turn you camera to f/22 and MF and set it to infinity and take a pic of a white background/screen.

6) Use Photoshop and auto level the resulting image. It will CLEARLY/DRAMATICALLY show you where all the crud is. And even if you live under the delusion that the ultrasonic system works, try this for yourself to see what your so called clean sensor looks like.

7) Most sensor swipe/wands come with instructions on wrapping PecPad on them. Use 2 drops of eclipse/eclipse2 wait for 5-10 seconds to let excess evaporate (if not it will smear and you will panic…been there done that) and clean in one direction. It will seem intimidating the first time…the second time….the third time…and after that when you see such posts you too will get irritated, since you know how ridiculously easy it is to keep sensor clean.

8) The edges are tough to clean even with sensor wands, I use q-tips with PecPads wrapped around them, coz I dont want to buy a $40 edge cleaning wand. It works great.

Unless you subsitute PecPads with 200 grit sand paper or clean your camera in a saw-mill, flour mill or the beach or in the middle of London you really cant go wrong. Heck even the mathematicians and statisticians that populate this forum could do it.

If you think that 3 FPS is too slow, you might be right! Check this baby out [click].

I’ll believe it when I see it!!

LOL thanks for this link. I was having another spirited debate on another forum (I seem to have lot of those) and this link really helps me with my point.

Thank!!!

thanks, i’ve a nikon D80,and the slow autofocus of the nikkor doesnt sound all that appealing.

D80 is a 3fps body. You could try the AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8VR and add a 1.4x TC to it (donno anything about Nikon TC but the Canon one does allow AF and IS to work) and you will get 98-280mm at f/5.6. But 3fps is not that great, I have seen what 3fps can do (or rather wont do)

Or better yet……….switch to canon. You wont ever find yourself in such a pickle.:diablo:

No no…you misunderstood me.I meant that previously there had been some sightings of MKIs in maritime role..although I dont think pictures exist atleast not for publuic viewing.

Even the maritime Jags belong to the IAF and not the IN.

There are pics of orange flight suited MKI.

Also the Harriers routinely trains against the No.9 Jag IM and “others”. So its shouldn’t be surprising to see that they actually know what they are doing.
