    Got a tiny spec on view finder on my Canon DSLR

    Folks,



    A tiny spec somehow managed to make its way on the viewfinder. The image quality has not suffered, but that tiny spec ( same as the size of those focus dots ) is quite irritating. I haven't yet figured out as how to clean it, any advice?



    Yup its Rebel XT.

    You mean inside the viewfinder?

    How is that possible? Did not know it can enter inside a viewfinder.



    BTW, why will IQ suffer from that spec buddy?



    I am sure if it is on viewfinder, you can clean with a soft cloth/microfiber cloth or similar.

    Make sure it isn't a spec on your lens filter or your lens.

    Re: Got a tiny spec on view finder on my Canon DSLR

    Since it is not effecting the Image quality, it is for sure a dust particle in the viewfinder...



    Just get in clean with the help of microfiber cloth...

    Or if u afraid of doing for yourself, take it to canon service center..

    They will do this small thing for free [I guess, they should do for free]
