Weird dots in photos EOS 2000D

VideoMaster — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 22:20:08 GMT

I had a Canon Rebel camera that kept producing weird dots in photos so I purchased an EOS 2000D. I am having the same exact issue with this camera. Recently went to an air show and took 659 pictures with 2 different lenses. Dots appear in all 659 pictures in the same position. Since I used 2 different lenses, there has to be an issue in the body of the camera. When I remove the lens, I do not see any debris on the mirror. I try to keep the camera at a constant temperature to avoid any condensation. Any ideas as how to correct this issue? I saw the same dots in another post and they were in the same position as well.

Please post an image so we can see your "dots" 🙂

"When I remove the lens, I do not see any debris on the mirror."

Debris on your mirror will not show on your images. It is flipped up and out of the way when you take the shot to allow light (image) to be captured by the cameras sensor.

It does seem odd that two cameras have the same issue, but I quit trying to rationalize things a long time ago... Still, my thought is sensor dust. But not knowing how often or what care you take when changing lenses, it's just a guess.

VideoMaster,

Two different cameras, two different lenses, same dots in the same place.

Sounds almost impossible to me.

The one common denominator though, might be the method you are using to transfer, or store, or reproduce your photos for web posting purposes.

1) Do the dots show up on your cameras' LCD screen when you hit Playback on your cameras?

2) What is the process you use to transfer the photos from your camera to your computer or tablet or smartphone?

3) Do you ever print those photos, and do the dots show up on your print?
