A good idea would be to enable start-up dust removal. It does a pretty good job of keeping your sensor clean.

This is definitely dust. I have just spent well over 30mins cleaning my sensor with both the sensor shake and a rocket blower. Like you, I could see nothing on the dust check, but it was there in the images.

Patience is all that's required.

hi all

thanks everyone for their invaluable feedback on this topic.

a question:

do you think the shake sensor feature (on this or any other digital camera) is a good idea after all, especially if used a lot?

not that i'm not happy it's there and why not use it once in a while too but what i mean is, wouldn't repeated actions like that, damage the sensor itself or other camera parts?

just a thought / worry of a kind coming from a more or less picky person ...

The dust removal feature is not going to hurt anything. They wouldn't put an option in that would damage the camera.
