Marks on all shots!!

HI, I keep getting a small blacky wiggly line on all my shots even when I change to a different lens, so obviously the problem is in the body itself(?)
Any ideas what is casuing this and how to rectify it? Ive attached an example. The mark is on the left of the shot.



Just joined and looking forward to reading the posts and joining in.

Most likely cause is a bit of crud on your camera's sensor. It happens to all of us sooner or later. You can Google "how to clean a DSLR sensor" and learn to do it yourself, or you can take it to a local camera place and have it done for you. Most likely it will cost you somewhere around $50 or $60 to have it done for you. Learning to clean the sensor is something most of learn to do at some point because having it done gets expensive.

Bit of something on the sensor,does your camera have auto sensor clean it may move it off

Thanks guys. Yes, I tried the auto cleaner thing but it doesnt seem to have made any difference. Is cleaning the sensor quite tricky or is it best left to the pros?

Do a you tube search and on here and see what you think,its not hard.

Thanks Mike. I managed to lock the mirror up and under a light I can actually see the piece of offending matter causing the problem. I guess my next step is to buy a blower.

Anyone with with a modicum of intelligence and common sense can clean their camera sensor. Start with a Rocket Blower and if you find you need to do a wet cleaning (meaning using swabs and liquid) just know it requires a light touch and use less fluid rather than more. Too much fluid on the swab and you'll wind up with little droplets on your sensor that will leave "water spots" behind.

It looks as though you may have come dirt/dust on your sensor. Dirt on sensors will look just like dust spots on slide film, as dark specs. Use a very fine, soft brush and gently dust off your sensor. DO NOT use canned air as that could exacerbate things.
