Digital Camera problems – dark spots on
the screen and on the photos
Argghhh! My Digital Camera
is acting up. I don’t need this now… not another expense just before Christmas.
My life and experience with
cameras has been forever. It was only
when I was very young that I never owned a camera but was included in all the
shots that my parents had taken.
The really old cameras worked
forever and would still be working if you could buy the film for them. But a
Digital Camera will not last forever – so they tell me.
My problem? Well there have been these ugly grey and
black fuzzy things showing up now on all the photos I take. They have grown in number and also are
changing places ever so slowly.
Do I have an expensive repair
coming soon? I hope not.
So going to my faithful
Google Search engine I described my camera, make and model – plus the problems
I was having.
There it was – other people
have had problems with the cameras as well… but not just this one I have but
other cameras as well.
It can be fixed by a repair
centre – meaning sending it away and waiting and hoping to see if they will be
able to do something.
The camera is dirty –
actually dusty inside. I have been too close to dusty stuff – i.e. my garage
and the wood carving that I do.
Then I sat and read some
more… dust gets in around the lens that moves in and out. It gets on to the optic mechanism and then
shows as part of the photos. Because it is small on a magnifying lens – it appears
large on my photo. Something like a bug
landing on my nose.
If dust gets in – could it
come out the same are that it went in?
So I took the camera to the vacuum
cleaner, turned both the camera and vacuum on and carefully placed the hose
about two inches away… sucking softly.
I had the camera on as I
stated and watched the screen and the spots… poof they were gone… one – then two
and then the other three… sucked out easily.
I fixed my camera with the
shop vac in my garage.
Mind you I didn’t apply the
full force of the suction to the camera face – I thought I might just suck out
the lens into the dusty bag.
So if you have spots of darkness on your camera – give it a try. It
might just work for you.
Oh BTW – my camera is a Samsung DV300F – that is a dual view camera with
all the small bells and whistles.
Oh and another BTW – check your camera for dust spots by turning it
on. Point toward a light coloured
surface… then move the lens to telephotos… zoom in on the white surface. If there is dust you will see lots of black
stuff…
Good luck.
