Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / September 2006Canon's dust removal system is....fake
Turns out, it's a pixel-remapping feature instead of a true dust removal feature. Given the size of some dust particles, you are likely going to have to clean as much as in the past, if you had to. From dpreview: Software based dust-removal (camera maps dust, removed later) > Turns out, it's a pixel-remapping feature instead of a true dust > removal feature. Rich, for heaven's sake get some reading comprehension lessons, or at least do a *bit* of extra research before shooting off these silly posts. >From a more-likely-to-be-correct source than you (some of the CAPITALS are mine)... =============== Canon takes..a unified giant step forward with its new, TWO-TIERED dust removal technology called the EOS Integrated Cleaning System... Canon begins by minimizing the dust and particles created by the camera itself.. Canon also treats the camera's low pass filter with an anti-static charge.. ..recognizing that humidity and a variety of real world conditions can cause dust to enter and adhere to the sensor or low pass filter despite the most scrupulous of efforts, CANON CREATED THE "SELF CLEANING SENSOR UNIT". The low pass filter on the front of the CMOS sensor is attached to an ULTRASONIC VIBRATING UNIT that literally SHAKES THE LOOSE DUST PARTICLES OFF the surface. =============== and here's where your daft post comes in... =============== .. there are occasions when dust particles of a stickier nature are NOT vibrated free of the low pass filter. IN THESE SITUATIONS, the Dust Delete Data function can be engaged. Simply put, by aiming the camera at a white wall or even a white piece of paper (or, in a pinch, removing the lens from the camera) the Dust Delete Data function will map the size and position of the dust particles remaining on the low pass filter. =============== Sigh. > Turns out, it's a pixel-remapping feature instead of a true dust > removal feature.
