Canon’s beleaguered 1D Mk III and 1DS MkIII have encountered yet another problem, and it sounds like a script from a Carry On movie. The two flasgship DSLRs are suffering from “lubricant in the mirror box” and “ring shaped spots”.
Laugh all you like but, when combined with the infamous focussing problems, the top-end EOS is starting to look less and less attractive. The problem is too much lubricant being aded to the hinges where the internal mirror flips up. This is causing the oil to splash around and end up on the high-pass filter over the sensor which in turn leads to spots on images.
If you’re suffering from these double-entendres, take your camera to a Canon dealer and they’ll have it cleaned for you. And no snickering, ok?
