Hi Pentaxians That does not sound very good, any better experiences with the integrated dust removal? Greetings Markus
http://pixinfo.com/en/articles/ccd-dust-removal/ Pentax K10D Part of the reason we started to organize this test was that we had a bad experience with the dust removal system of Pentax K10D that we had for our review.?Although the amplitude of the CCD movement is quite high (one can feel the shake on his hand), the frequency is rather low. After the second cleaning cycle surprisingly we have found more spots on the image than we had before it. This could be caused by the dust stuck in the mirror area. One thing is sure though: this system is not working as promised. Even after the 25th cleaning cycle we had all the spots on place. I tried really hard to find one disappearing spot, but I failed. So did the Pentax dust removal system. Effectiveness: 0%. After using the air blower the remaining spots decreased to a dozen. This shows, that the sensor's surface is not statically charged. Knowing this increases our disappointment even more. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
