Dust mystery
May 3, 2018 12:38:23 #
I took this shot of a remote control ( don't ask, being bored I guess), but here it goes, the picture shows a shit load of dust, on the remote and just about everywhere! The strange thing is, there was none when I took the shot ( I blew off the little but of dust there was off the remote, the surface it set on was cleaned as well, the lens surely was clean and so is the sensor on the camera, so were the hell does all this dust come from in the shot??????

Thanks, yes, I did later on, did some shots just a little bit later with the same lens and similar set-up - and no dust!

Mirror dust does not become part of the picture unless it comes off of the mirror and lands on the sensor.

No, if you look closely at some of the stuff on the mirrored surface you have the remote on you will see the reflection of said dust. While some of it maybe on the sensor a good portion of it seems to be on the surface of the subject. The other thing is that there is more fine stuff on the remote's button surface than on the mirrored surface; probably because its slicker (the mirrored surface.)

I have a little blow bulb I use to clean that area. Seems to help. I check it with the lens off looking at a blank white wall through the viewfinder.

That's what I'm saying, there was no dust on the remote, I blew it off, and I checked with a magnifying glass, it was clean, that's why I'm so flubbergusted!

Sensor dust would show up as dark spots, not white, as the dust would be shading the pixels on the sensor.

Well, I'm just saying what I see in the image looks like dust/fiber that's really on the remote and the mirrored surface regardless of what measures were taken to clean them off.

Yes it does.
