Are these stars or sensor noise? I’ve taken this photo and edited it on LR to make these “stars” visible. I’m not sure if they’re actual stars or just the sensor grain made more visible or something. If either, what gives it away? ISO 100, 1/100, f/8, 105mm. submitted by /u/0oidy

The Chinese leaker claims that Apple will adopt a 1/1.3″ sensor for the 48MP main camera in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, dow…
“It’s not about the size of the camera sensor, it’s how you use it.” Is this accurate? Larger sensors provide better dynamic range and low light performance, but can the same be achieved will smaller sensors such as APS-C or MFT? submitted by /u/AGcuriousity1998
How do I clean my sensor? Is there any way for me to clean it myself without a designated kit? submitted by /u/Panthers_22_
Some questions about sensor cleaning? I want to buy some sensor cleaning supplies to be able to clean the sensor on my own. I have a few questions in mind for you photographers that clean their own sensors: 1. Do you use wet or dry swabs? What are the pros and cons of each method and if you use dry, what cleaning fluid do you use? 2. Is there any risk in buying “generic” swabs onlin…
Streaks on sensor wont go away? Streaks appeared after first time swabbing this sensor. They somehow “disappear” after using a new swab with sensor cleaning fluid then reappear days later. I don’t think they are scratches though as I am very careful with not reusing swabs and using a blower first. submitted by /u/Zexceed_9
Has anyone ever been able to deal with stubborn dirt or fungus spots on the glass above the CMOS sensor that refuses to come off even with the correct sensor swabs and cleaning solutions? Canon EOS Rebel T3i sensor has some dirty areas and spots that might be fungus which refuse to come off regardless of how many APS-C sensor cleaner swabs and cleaning solutions I use. These were present in the camera BEFORE I used any solution and this sensor was in worse shape when I first received it. I could attribute this to fungus because …

Is there debris on my sensor? I’ve shot thousands of photos on my Nikon D500 but just started noticing what looks like debris on my latest (please see attachment). I tried multiple lenses and it’s still there which leads me to believe it’s on the sensor or mirror. I cleaned the mirror with a brush and then lifted the mirror and cleaned the sensor with the brush. Any advice o…
Is this sensor dust or sensor damage? submitted by /u/mdl7
BLACK TRANSLUCENT SPOT! Fuji X-T4 and Sigma 18-55, but I have seen it also with the Samyang 12mm. At about f22 especially visible. I thought it’s dust on the sensor, but the sensor looks clean to me. What could be? Help! 🙂 Thanks! submitted by /u/fravil92
Does sensor dust damage the sensor? I recently took a few picture using narrow aperture (f22) and they showed a couple of black dots of what i assume is sensor dust (their position in each pictures is the exact same). I’m not equipped nor do i have the knowledge to clean a sensor. Is it bad if i leave it as it is and edit out the dots in post? Will leaving things as they are damag…
Is anyone else also facing issue of frequent sensor dust on their mirrorless cameras ? I get the tiny black smudges on sensor everytime I change lenses submitted by /u/LiveSort9511
Sensor damage? Hello everyone, tonight I was taking a series of photos for a fashion show with my sony alpha iv. When I got home I looked at them again and noticed that at the top edges these colored marks appear in the mac previews. The camera had not suffered any bumps so much that I found myself from one photo to the next with this problem. Opening the file…
Is my camera sensor damaged? Everytime I use a strobe, I get this dark part on the side of the photo and not sure what’s causing it. Pictures without strobe have no issues though and using my smaller flash I don’t run into this issue either so not sure at this point. Camera is Sony a7IV. submitted by /u/Conscious_Intern1526
Is this from the Sensor or Lens? I recently bought a Lumix g100 from Amazon used and when I got the Camera it had what I thought was sensor dust. I cleaned it out with the rocket blower and sensor swabs but I am still seeing these black specs to the right of my pictures when I have an aperture of f8+. Is it possible that this is dust in the Lens? Can Amazon just ship me a new l…
HDR on sensor? One thing struck me today as I was photographing and stitching together images: when a camera might have 50 MP, why do they all have to be exposed the same? The aperture of course has to be the same, but shutters are more and more electronic these days. Can’t iso or electronic shutter speed be “modulated” across rows of pixels? It could either g…
how do i clean my sensor of these streaks and spots? hey all! so i made a pinhole camera lens for my sony a6300, and upon snapping some pictures i noticed that my sensor is extremely dirty and has streaks of residue from a cleaning solution once used on the sensor with the swap.
