Not quite camera birthday
Jun. 14th, 2006 09:30 pmI've had my camera nearly a year. It's had two significant events in its life a week or so early, though.
Firstly, it's rolled over the picture number: I've now take more than 10,000 pictures. I've only kept a fraction of those, though.
Secondly I'd noticed on some recent pictures a black blob in a consistent place. A quick experiment showed that it was independent of lens (though one of the lenses I tested with did need a clean anyway). So, it was time for the dreaded sensor cleaning. This was less painful than I expected and, crucially, appears to have actually worked.
