[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 298379, member: 9240"] Sorry I missed the post, adox66. What hark said. LiveView opens up the tube between your lens and your sensor with nothing standing in the way of any of the contaminants that were once in front of the mirror from now being directed to the sensor, and this time with the help of motion and gravity as you move around. So, in the spring, while you're laying on the ground trying to get that impossible up-angled photograph of all those flowers that you could never possibly see through the viewfinder, know that gravity is working hard along with the pollen in the air to dirty that sensor up. That's not to say that you shouldn't do it. It's just a reminder that we do lots of things with our cameras that we'd consider [I]normal and proper use[/I] that expose the sensors to all sorts of contaminants that we then want to think are a problem with the camera, because[I] we're always so careful when changing lenses[/I].
