How to get rid of the dust under the screen?

Q. My DSLR has white dust under its LCD monitor. I can only see it when the screen/camera is off. I keep it in a camera bag, its dust free in there and its actually getting worse. The dust doesn't bother me as I don't even see it when the camera is on or in any of the photos I just hope its not damaging the camera?

A. White dust under the LCD monitor. Oil marks / fingerprints under the LCD monitor etc. are recently becoming quite common especially in DSLR's. They are obviously irritating but it's better to forget them. Since they don't interfere with the photos and are not so obvious when the LCD is being used, it's easier to learn to ignore them then getting it cleaned.

Opening a DSLR is a tough job and even after cleaning, it might not be very clean. However you might end up getting new problems. It's not worth getting the screen cleaned. Better learn to live with it and ignore it.

Take your camera out, start photographing and soon you'll start to ignore this.

Second- even if your camera bag appears dust free, use a vacuum cleaner to clean it up further. Use a LCD cover slightly bigger in size than the LCD screen. It also sometimes helps by preventing dust from entering behind the LCD screen.

Most of such problems are however related to the assembling of the camera and I feel that the people there are quite irresponsible.

A. Hi,

The Sony Alpha series has this. Canon and Nikon need to flip the mirror up to refocus, so the screen goes blank for a short time. Sony uses a second sensor to focus - so you can view all the time.

You should ask yourself why you want this though. Live view is good for composition and getting horizons horizontal, but DSLR's are heavy, and holding it to your eye/face makes sure it is steady. That's why so many amateur videos look as if they were made by a drunk - it is just too difficult to hold at arms length.
