Nikon D600 Sensor Dust Timelapse (pt. 2) - Pointing Downwards.
The response to the first Nikon D600 sensor dust video was, to put it mildly, overwhelming. Thank you all for your great comments, ideas, suggestions, rants, and most of all, those several minutes of your attention.
I received a lot of good ideas in the comments, and in this video, I am putting one of them to the test, by shooting straight downwards, making it harder for dust to land on the camera sensor's surface.
I've run the automatic sensor cleaning option a number of times without seeing a single spot disappear. (is this a real function, or just a placebo option? I can press my ear against the camera while it's running the self cleaning and not hear a thing.)
The results aren't nearly as dramatic this time around. in fact, this time around, it hardly looks like a timelapse video with 1000 frames. (part of that is due to setting my shutter to 1/60 this time, which really helped the flicker issue that plagued the first video (sorry about that little oversight last time).
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: F22
ISO 1600
Time between shots: 2 seconds.
I truly hope this is an issue that will sort itself out after a few thousand shots. Then I can get my sensor cleaned, put all this behind me, and have one of the best damned cameras on the market!
