amelidis@otenet.gr Posted September 15, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, If I have uploaded the image correctly, you will see a mark/ dust / hair at the left top hand side of the image. I have obviously cleaned the lens so this must mean it is on the sensor? Any solution to this? Is it covered by warranty? Thanks Welcome, dear visitor!

earleygallery Posted September 15, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2013 Yes, dust or rather a small hair has worked its way inside to your sensor. If the camera is under warranty then Leica should clean it off for free. I had a few dust specks on my Clux sensor, I opened the camera up and cleaned it myself, and also put some tape over the component joints - amazing how dusty the inside of the camera was!

honcho Posted September 16, 2013 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2013 Depending on your method of cleaning and what sensor cleaning products you used, it could be a fibre from a swab such as Visible Dust. Clean it again or use something like a Rocket air blower (not compressed gas!) with the camera body facing downwards to move it off the sensor.

amelidis@otenet.gr Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted September 16, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes it's a D-Lux 5 and is still under warranty, so I will take it back to the dealer... Thanks for the advice! Alexis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
