i did my first cleaning today and this is what the K20 produced when i checked for dust -
so what does that mean? had the camera about 1 month - only changed the lenses out a few times and im super careful with the body at all times.
this is the first time i have done this so if this looks normal - let me know!
thanks -

definitely not normal, were you pointing the camera a blank, unfocussed subject? e.g a white, textureless, wall.

What you see are your knees

You must point your lens to a white blank surface to use the dust tester ...

AHA! so funny - those are my knees!

Yes, that is normal. I see your knees when I check for dust also.
