Hello. I noticed this spot on the bottom left corner won't go away after several swab cleaning. I have a feeling this spot has been there since I purchased the body back in Feb and have not noticed since it is in the corner of frame.
I have cleaned the lens with camera wipes and the camera sensor using 24mm swab with cleaner a few times. I use the swab one time only and have done it 3 times. Should I bring it in to Canon to have a look?

Yes, the swab kit comes with cleaning bottle. I applied the solution on one side of the swab with a swooping motioning once each side of the swab over the sensor. I cleaned the sensor 3 times.

Wow. I have excellent vision. I don't see anything on any of these photos.

Update: I have brought the camera in to Canon to have the sensor cleaned. A week past and they have performed the cleaning. However, they were not able to remove the foreign particle.
I have requested to have this repair. Another service order has been issued and it will take about 3 weeks time. What a bummer. I was looking forward to take the camera on my Hokkaido trip.

Try the "Dust delete data" function in your camera, fourth option in the shooting 5 menu. It's described, starting on page 282, of your R6 mark II manual. This will walk you through making a map that can be applied to your shots.
