I've had this happen a couple of times. Go into the camera menu and lock the mirror in the 'up' position. Remove the lens. Point the camera down and using the blower, blow up into the mirror/sensor chamber being very careful not to touch the sensor. Replace the lens and take a photo of the sky (without clouds), view and enlarge as necessary on your PC and check for blobs or dust marks. I had to repeat the process a couple of times until the blower finally dislodged the dust. I never used any other cleaning materials and this method worked perfectly for me, obtaining totally clean pictures.

Hi Adam. Great tip and video link. I had a 'blob' on all my pictures. I tried the pixel cleaning first. Didn't change anything. Then I found your post and followed the video, fortunately I only had to go half way through the video as the section describing the 'blower' trick, with the mirror up, worked perfectly, and the 'blob' has disappeared. Many thanks!
