That said, on the subject of dew (which this isn't), don't forget to use your camera's in-built dew heater.

Adam,
If you joggle back through the post , I mentioned that I use the dew heater as default “on” all the time , and wondered if having the dew heater on and not cooling the camera down immediately ( like I’ve been doing for 9 months except for the night that I had the oil smear ) caused the silicon grease under the thermal pad to increase viscosity due to heat and dribble across the sensor ???
Possibly ?
Maybe ?
So if you have a 2600MC I’d advise you to cool the camera down immediately after connecting irrespective of whether you use the dew heater or not ( it may or may not be the cause but it’s doesn’t hurt doing it anyway )
