Cleaning dust in the mirror? Anonymous
has anyone gotten any dust in either the pentamirror or the AF of their DSLR's? cause I seem to have gotten one right next to an AF point and yet the dust particle doesnt appear in any of my photos.. cleaning out the eyepiece end of the viewfinder doesnt solve things, so I'm lead to believe its the inside mirror thats dirty. help!

I usually take my lens off and wipe the focusing screen off with my finger. It hasn't failed yet, but if there happens to be any dust that won't go away, there's probably nothing I can do about it. Just be glad that it doesn't affect your photos and ignore it.
