I tried to clean it myself but my efforts came to nothing, so I bit the bullet and sent it to Carmencita in Valencia to have it done professionally. I was aware that it might be an inherent problem with the sensor rather than just dirt but I was prepared to take the chance. The camera came back last week, with two pictures on the card taken by the lab, both at f22, showing clearly the ?before and after?. I went on to test the camera using my standard test protocol, i.e. just go out and take some pictures with lots of sky in them. Here are the results: Playa Muchavista: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-QktNQNM/A Busot church: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-Qwp2Ngq/A I would say that the sensor cleaning worked.
