As you can see from the picture, there are dots in the photo.  (The circles are not the issue.)  There are three visible after a little post processing.  The one in the upper left is visible without the post.  These appear in several days shooting.  It does not matter which lenses I use.  Sigh.

 

Does anyone have a good idea?

 

Thanks you,

Thomas Spencer

That's dust on the sensor. It is time to clean it. There are lots of good cleaning systems out there and as long as you keep to one system, all the wet-cleaning systems work well. You might get it clean without the wet-clean if you just set the camera in cleaning mode and use a rocket-blower to blow the dust away. Most of the photography retailers offer a cleaning service that isn't *that* expensive, if you don't feel up to doing it yourself.

Thank you.  I was afraid I had some mold in the body.  It was in very high humidity environments, then AC, then back outside quite a bit over the summer.  Looks like I better dig out the manual.  'Read the directions', I keep hearing that.  I still don't understand the concept.

 

Thanks again,
