Hi, I am new to the forums and hoping someone can advise how to remove what looks like a dog hair inside the lens of my Nikon A1000. It is out of warranty so looking for a solution to try myself. It is right at the front, there is also dust specs in it. It’s always been kept in its case when not in use so not sure how it would have got in there. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Maria. Welcome to the forums.

 

Does this hair show in your photos? If not then I wouldn't worry too much about it. However, if it does, there's little you can do besides having the lens serviced. Yeah, I know... not what you were hoping to read.

I wonder if you could move it to the edge of the glass electrostaticly?

 

Perhaps a very smooth plastic rod rubbed quickly for a few seconds to build up a static charge, then moved against the glass where the hair is.

With any luck you may be able to move it downwards.

 

As Ron says, the alternative will be expensive.

Hi Ron
Thank you for your reply and your welcome to the forums. It doesn’t seem to show up in the photos so will keep an eye on it and see how it goes.

Hi Pete
Thank you for your idea, I will give it a try and see if it works, will let you know if it does.
