Nikon D600 Sensor issues, really bad...

exposure should come out to a second or two. Wave the camera around a bit as you expose to smear any background out to smoothness.

Then you can really see the sensor crud!

Excellent idea! I think I'm gonna steal it.

I stole it myself! I forget where from, but it works like anything.

No honor among thieves, I guess!

Look into the Copperhil CCD cleaning web site tutorials, for both knowledge, and products needed to simply clean away your problem.

Thanks everyone for your replies, I am new here and I am grateful I joined, I will clean my sensor and see what happens, you guy´s rock

Smear Away. Liquid cleaner for sensor. is amazing, I have used it and the sensor is spotless, now I just hope it stays that way.....

also an idea for those trying to find test backgrounds, open up a blank document on your computer screen. f22+ and a couple second moving exposure gives a nice even background.

at 1.2k clicks my d600 took many a swab to get it clean. hopefully the next cleaning will be lighter.

It won't.

Sensor cleaning has to be done periodically.

How often it has to be done depends on your lens changing procedure.

Ummmm took 100 shots at f22, blue sk and 3 oil spots have come back to haunt me, I just hope the rumour that this problem goes away after 3k clicks is true.

Pabs,
I had a similar problem with my D800 upon arrival. I had spots identical to yours (minus the little hair thing - I don't know what that is), but mine were clustered in the upper left. I took the plunge and cleaned the sensor. It was not difficult. It took a couple tries, but i came out with a perfectly clean sensor. Here's the thread where I talked about it: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...oducts/306019-i-cleaned-my-d800-s-sensor.html


Edit: I just saw that you solved the problem. Disregard.

Nope, cleaned the sensor but oil has appeared again I will read your thread, thanks Heitz.

Wait hold on. Are you certain that oil has *reappeared* after being totally absent following your cleaning? If that's true, you might want to have it serviced; that shouldn't be happening. An interesting test you might do (and include us on) is to post a picture of the spots now, then re-clean, post picture, then use the camera for a day and post again. I'd like to see if the spots are really re-appearing.

Ok I'll take some pics and post one here as soon as I can.

OK just went outside and took 200 shots of the sky at f22, the other image was taken yesterday after cleaning, seems the camera is braking apart....BTW I am using a 24mm prime lens, so this is not dust from a zoom.
