[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 297867, member: 9252"] Welcome to the forum! It looks like you have photographed a dark sheet of paper, and then used a tool to highlight the spots? If so, there does appear to be a lot on there. How many actuations have you got on the shutter? I have heard that it can take ~3000 shots to clear any excess oil left from manufacture, so if you have fewer than that whack the camera in high continuous, and get the camera up to 3000+ shots. Then get the sensor cleaned, and if the problem reappears, get it checked by Nikon, but often the problem won't return once the shutter is "Run in" a bit. Oil spots aren't caused by lens changes, so while being careful is a good thing there's no reason why it can't be done outside (With in reason - a windy beach is not a good idea!) I just use the in built sensor clean function once a new lens is on. Let us know how you get on :) [/QUOTE]
