I'm getting a black circle / line on every image. It does not show up in viewfinder but it is on the LCD display and on every image. Tried different lenses, no change. It does change position / size depending on zoom.

 

Images attached. 

 

Anyone have any idea what it could be?

 

Thanks,

Pje

Looks like a hair on the sensor.

Get a blower, mirror lock (or whatever it's called) from the menu. The next time you press the shutter, the mirror will stay up. Make sure you hold the body upside down so nothing else gets in, the give the sensor a puff of air. Turn the body off and test it.

I have been advised by a distributor of sensor cleaning kits to do the job in the bathroom. Run the shower for a few minutes with the curtain shut. This will keep the dust down.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try this.

If you read pages 243 and 244 in the manual, the procedure is outlined there. If the blower don't get it and you don't feel comfortable using a cleaning kit, a professional clean isn't too expensive.
