Of course Terrestrial shots. I didn't even think about those. I guess that's what they were designed for in the first place

I guess there is always the good old fashion clone or heal tool in PS. I'm just a bit paranoid about getting anything near the sensor or even introducing more dust than is already there.

Error 99 is generally caused by non communication between camera and lens.Can be caused by dirty electrical contacts or non canon lens and lens chip incompatability.Also occurs when you try to use teleconverter without a lens attached, as the teleconverter also has a chip.
Hope this lowers your fear of the impending dreaded Error 99.

As for cleaning the sensor I use one of those cans of liquid tetrafluoroethane.The trick is to hold the can vertical so no liquid comes out.The can does say not to use on camera mirrors.Only the liquid can damage the camera as it may freeze components if liquid comes out.Some blower brushes can just send more dust onto the sensor.The blower intake should be filtered.

Mike, On page 39 of the manual it explains how to remove dust
Use a blower brush as per the instructions.

The first place we should look but the last place we actually turn to.


Thanks for the info David.
