dirt on p[ictures

I have a nex 5 and recently I have had blodges on the pictures I take. Initially I thought it was the lenses but those have all been cleaned and I still get them.

How do I go about cleaning the sensor? do I have to send it off to a sony centre?

Hi flyingsurfer,


I had the same issue with my pentax DSLR, I did manage to clean the sensor in the end after a lot of practice and lots of streaky photos. You can buy the kits to do it, but I think it's quite dangerous and you can easily damage your CCD. I would recommend sending it to a Sony centre to get it cleaned, but if you don't care too much, just buy the kit and try it yourself. I used these ones http://www.photosol.com/store/pc/home.asp
