[QUOTE="friedmud, post: 86382, member: 11427"] Yeah - I had to work at it pretty hard. Had to get the tip somewhat close to the sensor and give it some good squeezes. I try to trap the tip with my other hand against the edge of the outside of the camera body so it won't move too much (or god forbid run into the sensor). I always blow from inside to outside to try to blow the dust _off_ the sensor... not just just straight down. After each session I would shoot another test shot so that I could see how I was doing and try to figure out where the dust was still hanging out... Oh - BTW - The internal "Sensor Cleaning" doesn't work AT ALL. I ran it multiple times with test shots in-between and never saw it remove a single spec of dust. I put the camera up to my ear to see if I can hear it doing anything... and I _was_ able to hear a slight electronic noise while it was running... so it is trying to do something... but it never made a bit of difference in the dust. I kind of suspect that that is the root of the issue. I think that most DSLRs would probably have this must dust buildup from the factory... but their internal cleaning is working at getting most of it off the sensor. I think the D600 must just suck at getting dust off by itself... [/QUOTE]
