Nikon D600 Sensor Dust Timelapse (pt.3)
Part 3
Shots #2681 to #3680
In the comments, a number of people have mentioned that the problem is oil/lubricant spatter, not dust (which explains why the spots will not blow away). And that this is a problem with new cameras, one that will go away after taking several thousand shots.
3000 was the magic number posted throughout many of the comments. After 3000 shots, the problem more-or-less goes away.
So, I figured, why not do a third sequence of 1000 shots and post the results.
Same setup as the first video:
I setup a time lapse sequence of 1000 shots with my 50mm 1.8D lens on my D600 body
I did not change lenses throughout this video.
I did use a hand pump blower to blast away any loose dust that had build up, and that did eliminate several spots, but the vast majority of them remain stuck to the sensor, and a DIY wet cleaning would void the warranty, which I am not prepared to do on a piece of equipment that is only one week old.
