Over the last week my D3100 has developed a small circular artefact or smudge (it is transparent), on the viewfinder. The artefact is not in the lens which I have cleaned, and it is not on the sensor or the mirror as it is not appearing on the pics I take.
The main issue is that the artefact is affecting the ability for the camera to focus using the central focus spot! which it wont accurately do anymore.
With the lens off and looking into the body of the camera I suspect the mark is on the inside of the viewfinder glass which I understand might be removable. Can someone more knowledgable confirm or otherwise that the glass is indeed removable and therefore can be cleaned on both sides.
Cheers
