What is this on my camera!

[thehitmen]

On some pictures this show up clearly, i don't have anything to clean the sensor, so i mite have to take it to jessops...

Or is there anything i could use around the house to clean it, if this is on the sensor...

Or is this the sensor?

These are the best pictures i could see it on?

Looks like sensor dirt to me.

Presumably you've tried with a different lens? If so +1 for sensor dirt

 

[psybear]

Repaint that wall?

Search the forum for sensor dust removal / cleaning. It looks like you have some dust and potentially a hair. Try rocket blower first.

Looks like dust on the sensor, as above, try a rocket blower initally, if this doesn't clear it a lenspen works well

It looks more like liquid/oil than dust.

You shouldn't.

It looks like you scribbled the marks on in Photoshop

Should have been more specific - the lenspen Sensor Klear, like this

There's a really good tutorial on here, although I have to admit, I haven't dared do it myself yet

That's what I use. Rocket Blower first to remove the loose stuff then a gentle bit of pen action

Cheap, Clean & no Drama

A blast with a Rocket Blower (with the camera held upside down to try to stop the dust settling back on the sensor) usually clears most stuff. Otherwise the Visible Dust brush does the trick. It is only rarely that I have to resort to using sensor cleaning fluid and swabs (Visible Dust again) - usually after a long overseas trip.
