Guest guy_mancuso Posted October 7, 2007 Share #21 Posted October 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks David there is no fear of traveling with these slight bugs and maybe soon we will have some firmware that will correct it. Enjoy your travels and check in and show some shots along the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted October 7, 2007 Share #22 Posted October 7, 2007 The reason it's not a good idea to change lenses with the camera on is that the sensor has a positive charge when the camera is on and if you are in a dusty environment it will attract the particles to the sensor surface. It isn't due to static electricity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't due to static electricity. Wait a second, in our M8 the sensor is covered because the shutter is closed. The shutter is metal and hence the sensor is surrounded by a Faraday cage. I don't buy this line of reasoning at all. How many KeV are we talking about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using your line of reasoning dust should never get on the sensor at all. Perhaps I should have been more specific. Dust is attracted into the sensor chamber and from there gets onto the sensor when the curtain is open. This has been common advice from a variety of sources ever since I started using digital cameras 10 years ago, but you are more than welcome to take it or leave it. Makes no difference to me one way or the other. If you want to leave your camera on when you change lenses, by all means do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
