Hello folks,
I'm looking for feedback.
I have an X10 with a bit of dust in the viewfinder. Actually, it's more like a couple of dust spots and at least one little hair fragment. This made its way into the viewfinder within two weeks of ownership. I have contacted Fuji and was informed cleaning this out would not be covered under warranty (this is in Canada), and the implication was that it would be costly to remove.
Alternatively, it was suggested I buy canned air or a CO2 blaster (without propellant of course), and blast air in through the viewfinder on both sides, front and back, wherever I could.
Is this really a good idea?
The comment I got was that the dust would blow elsewhere. Where? Onto the sensor?
Has any one else bothered with this? Is it even worth it? Is there another way?
Thanks in advance for any advice and/or sharing of experiences with this.
Lachlan
