Hi all, not done this for a couple of years now.....
might jump in if i get some ideas..

I noticed it a lot when I took some late sunset / dark shots on hols in Turkey. When I opened up the image in photoshop and cropped it down a bit, the dots were everywhere. Took ages cloning them all out. I suppose it wasn't so noticeable when the image wasn't zoomed in but once you know they are there...... do you now what I mean?
I was worried it was due to dust or something. If it's not and there's not a lot I can do about it, fair play.
Off on a Caribbean cruise through Xmas and New Year and just wanted camera to be in best shape possible. Hoping to re light my photo fire and get some good shots. Not been on here for ages, just lost interest for a while.....

Thanks for all your input!

there's a crop of a quarter of the image on there now

Just going to try zooming in on pic to enlarge the dots and will re upload

Thanks so far, some stuff I understand there and some I don't.
I have just uploaded the black image but its not possible to see the dots in the state, they are more apparent if you enlarge it.

Hi, I have an Olympus E500. I have just had it professionally cleaned for the first time since I owned it about 5 years ago.
The reason I took it was because I was getting loads of coloured spots on my images when doing darker long exposure type shots. The clean does seem to have reduced it but I just took a 6 second exposure in a dark room to check it and there are still quite a lot of different coloured dots of varying sizes.
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the workings of a camera. Are these dots being caused by dust? Or is there something else wrong with it.
I could upload the image with the dots on if it helps anyone diagnose my problem?

Cheers in advance.
