Re: Dust alert gone

I meant to say an out of focus white wall. If you can see dust without enlarging the image on your screen then you get the same effect as the dust alert anyways. A cloudy or blue sky of course works too. Dust can be infuriating if you let it get to you. I try not to wet clean all that often

Re: Dust alert gone

Set your lens to it's smallest fstop. Shoot a white wall. Look at the image on your camera. Do you see dust? Just ignore it. I only clean my camera when I have to consistently clone out dust from skies. Otherwise you will never notice it anyways. Just relax. On Jun 17, 2016 11:22 PM, "Larry
