oil spot?
Jul 4, 2014 19:51:52 #
I have a new 7100.
Here's a surfer shot I took last week.
I've never seen the oil spots people talk about
from the 600 camera.
Is what I have here an oil spot in the left area of the photo?

Ok. Thanks, I guess that makes sense as long as its not a camera issue. I posted this to hear what others think.

These seem to be dust spots on your sensor: cleaning it is often the solution.

Thanks. I will try that. I was worried I had the oil spot
issue I have heard so much about.

I had some oil spots, but they looked much smaller and had a slight light ring around their edges.
Yours may just be a dust speck. A squeeze bulb air blower may be all you need to get rid of it.
Mine required a wet cleaning.

Your Exif data says that was shot at f/5.6, and most "dust" spots are much smaller and not even visible at f/5.6. So that appears to be one rather large chunk of crud on your sensor!
Whatever it is is almost certainly easily visible in good light, so you might just lock the mirror up just to look at it. In the image it is in the upper left, so on the sensor look in the lower right.
If it is something like oil it will be more difficult to clean, and will require a wet swab to get rid of it.
If it is just a spec of something dry that has landed on sensor, you can most likely blow it off with one of the "rocket" style air blowers.
And until then, yes it is fairly easy to remove it with almost any editor. Just set a clone tool to something less than 100% opacity and clone a little of the area next to it on top.

I had some spots on the sensors of both my D7000 and my D800. I went back to my salesman in a regular camera store and he found some free (I am assuming to good customers) tickets for a cleaning or repair issue. Both sensors were cleaned professionally in a couple of days for free. I don't think a Walmart or Best Buy would do that but I am lucky to have a great camera store, Samy's, near me and I do a lot of business there so it helps me a lot in the long run.

Clone? Explain please
By using a program. Elements is one but there are many others.

Yeah. I just found out about Sammys and visited
them during their fathers day sale. That place is huge.
I got mine from B&H before I knew about them.
Thanks
