Hi,</p>
<p>Still pretty new to photography and (D)SLRs and all, especially to maintenance and such. I've got a Canon 20D and I've got a lot of specks in the pictures I take lately. There is an image attached and you can see what I'm talking about. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On another website, I found out about setting the camera to permit cleaning the sensor. I did it and found no improvement. I tried cleaning off the sensor or mirror that sits diagonally over the sensor (the part that gets locked away to reach the sensor) and that did nothing. Then I found what looks like frosted glass that sits perpendicular in a seat (it gets covered up when the sensor is revealed) that would be at the top of the sensor area and when I tried to reach it to clean, that seemed to move the smudges around. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been trying for an hour now to try to "clean" this glass and all I do is move dust. How do I get this part clean?</p>
<p> </p>
