EDi Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Hi there, this curved line is now happening on all of my photos. Does anyone know what might be causing it? It is more pronounced when I use my 24-105 lens and still there but faint when I use my 50mm. I have attached a jpeg of one of my unedited photos which shows the line. Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this kind of question , and no worries if no-one knows. Thanks!

Damien Symonds Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Gee, it looks like a hair, doesn't it? I've got no idea, but I bet Brian will know when he logs in next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yep. Something is on your sensor. If you don't own one of these yet, please purchase one:From B&H:Giottos Rocket Blower - Large From Amazon: Giottos Rocket Blower - Large What you will do is use a fully charged battery and look for a setting in your camera such as, "Mirror Lockup for Cleaning." Select that and press the shutter button. It should flip up the mirror mechanism and then you will take the tip of the Rocket Blower and point it towards the sensor. MAKE SURE THE TIP DOESN'T BUMP INTO THE SENSOR and give it 5 or so blasts of air from the blower. It also helps that you hold the camera face down, so whatever dust or hair falls to the floor and away from the camera sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDi Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Thank you, yes I do have one. I have just tried what you have recommended carefully and it's still there. I have tried it 3 times now. Issue is still there even though I can't see anything on the sensor at all. I can always take it in to Canon and get them to have a look at it. Thank you for your help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It could be on your mirror or on the prism. Blow the hell out of your camera. It even could be on the shutter curtain and I wouldn't mess with that, Canon would be the ones to do something like that. It's debris in the camera body, rather than specific to the lens. Try multiple lenses and shoot a blank wall at f/16. That will show all the dust spots and other things. If it's just your 24-105, then it's the lens. If it happens with all the lenses, it's the camera body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
