Hey all i had been shooting over the weekend at the motor show no problems ect.. The missus packs the camera away in the hard case so take the lens off and ect and puts the body lens cap on. I go out today and take some pictuers then hmm i go with some markings in the photo.

Im curious in what it may be i have a look at the lens none of my lens tried all, had a look at the mirror thing whilst open couldnt see anything but that it hard. Then i try a test...

At F22 The Mark is there but as a go to a F10, F4 ect mark dispeers,

Im confused beening new to all this lol. Anyone shed some insight for me?

bit of dust on the sensor, im in the same boat at the moment and makes me not even want to use the camera (although mine is alot worse).

You can clean it yourself (using propper cleaning gear) or take it to a camera repair joint, they usually charge around $100-$150

take it to teds, camera house etc. They should clean for free especially if you bought it from them.

Had same issue on mine and took it in. 2min and back to shooting clear images. Said he just uses some special camels fur brush or some shit. Either way it was fixed in couple min.

You can use one of these to try get it off if it isn't too stubborn, cheaper than having it professionally cleaned and no risk because it's just air.

Thanks for the replys, yer i took it to my local teds (didnt buy it from there) just asked him about it showed him and he used that instrument on it and wammo :)

:cheers:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
