Canon Rebel T3i - Line in my pictures

hfareed — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 03:12:51 GMT

Hello,

In some of the recent pictures I took with my camera, there is this line that keeps showing up. Doesn't seem like there are any scratches on any of my lenses, so not sure what is happening, it has never happened before. I've attached some pictures for reference.

Dirty sensor like a hair on it. Get a Rocket blower and see if it will blow it off.

Don't worry too much about dust on the front element of the lens. They will be OOF and not show up in your photos.

Looks like a hair on the sensor. The fact that it appears to be moving around is a good sign, because it suggests that it can be blown away. Use only a hand-operated squeeze blower, not a pressurized can of air; the latter can cause various problems. And don't touch or brush the sensor with anything, wet or dry.

The fact that the line is in focus practically guarantees that it isn't a scratch on a lens.
