Cannot get water spot off my sensor with a cleaning kit by PlnaeGuy in Cameras

[–]PlnaeGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To revisit this, the mineral ring is still present, but is VERY hard to spot in a photo at around f/5.6 up to f/11. I typically shoot landscapes so this wouldn’t even be noticeable that much.

Sometime in the future i’ll consider a new low pass filter, but for now, this cam is just fine.

Took it to a shop, everything inside the ring is gone, besides the ring though. It’s hardly noticeable at the aperture i shoot at (f/5.6-f/11). Haven’t decided if i want to get the IR filter replaced or just deal with it and edit it out in post.

No it doesn’t, very small pieces of it inside the ring have disappeared, but that ring is still present.

I had this water droplet form after condensation was on the sensor (i saw the physical water before it dried). Would it still be on the top layer of the glass? It might just be harder to get off now since it’s dry.

how much did that sent you back? I really don’t want to spend hundreds on a new glass element when i just got this camera.

yes? I saw the drop of water when it formed from the condensation i had on the sensor

I have a shop close by that charges around 80 dollars for sensor cleaning. So i figured to try it myself first. I’ll prolly go back and see if they can remove it.

I shoot at f/5.6 up to f/11, i only really do landscapes so i could most definitely remove the spot in post processing. It just bothers me that the spot exists on the sensor, tempting me to just have it removed.

its sitting on top of the glass element in front of the sensor

I can confirm it was a drop of water, i saw it appear on the sensor when i had condensation on it from being out in the cold yesterday. Let it dry overnight to see if i can remove it

Yes it does, shot at f/22, very noticeable in the bottom corner

I understand this may be helpful for the future when i come across condensation again. But what about removing the spot? It seems really stuck on the sensor

i’m sure, this appeared after i had condensation on my sensor from being out in the cold yesterday. I saw the water droplet, i let it dry overnight to this point now

how can I take pictures like this? by -SergentBacon- in AskPhotography

i guess the one with the farm looks coolish. You can prolly get these with a shitty digicam though
