EOS Rebel T7 Spots ALL Over Images

[LandynHall]

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T7 I got as a gift within the last 5 months. This is my first camera and I'm looking for help. I hate recently had these fuzzies all over in my shots. It's not the sensor, I've cleaned that and it could be my mirrors but I've tried cleaning those. The dots show up in pictures and it ruins them. I have an air blower which doesn't help, microfiber cloths, and sensor cleaning swabs. I have no idea what to do and I need help.

I recommend that Canon cleans the image sensor. The focusing screen almost never needs cleaning or replacement. The focusing screen IS NOT user replaceable on Rebel Series cameras.

Is there any way I can go about not sending it into Canon? Or is it necessary to have good images. I know 2 others that have had an issue similar to this on this camera and just edit it out after.

The focusing screen is not in the optical path for pictures. But it appears that the image sensor wasn’t cleaned properly. Causing “fuzzies” to be visible in pictures. If you want the “fuzzies” removed you can have Canon clean the image sensor.

I never cleaned the sensor, just the mirrors. The first time and the only time I cleaned the sensor was with a swab, lightly. But thank you, I will send it in to Canon as soon as I can

There’s only one visible mirror. So that mean you also scratched the focusing screen above the mirror.

Yep. That's definitely what I did I've messed with that a few times. Do you have any idea what it would cost to get it repaired?

You will have to contact Canon for a quote. Then you can proceed from there. Just make sure the repair price doesn’t exceed the value of your camera. So always get a quote before making any repairs.
