Originally posted by John Kovarik Yesterday, I noticed a 'blob' on some pix that I determined to be sensor dust. I went thru the
'Alert' routine and confirmed it, but I was unable to dislodge it manually, so I did the 'Shake' trick and that did it. I am left with 2 Qs for you experts out there:
A. The 'Shake' is quite audible and easily felt consisting of what seems to be of 3-4 impacts. Is this the 'way it works'?
B. Do users generally leave their K20s in the 'Removal' mode, or use it only when necessary?
I never had this problem with my K100D.......Thanks for any advice.

Stil have the K10D, no K20D, yet.
I use a blower on my sensor once a week, but have used the shaker a few times. It does make a bit of noise when in use.
Only when necessary.
Dust is going to happen in Dslr's. Get into a daily or weekly prevention mode, and you'll be fine.

BTW foir whats its worth, i found my istD very dusty, but my K10D alot cleaner.
I use my Nikon gear in dusty horse ring venues, and rarely need to clean for dust.
