That's a cute story! It might be interesting to listen to the thoughts of insects, though cicadas would still be annoying!
It looks like you've got some dust on your camera's sensor:
In as dust free space you can find:
set the mirror "up" its usual position is hanging in front of the sensor,
take off the lens, you should be able to see the sensor and a little speck of dust on it,
use one of those bulb like hand blowers if you have one, and blow the dust off, do not touch the sensor!
If that doesn't work, take it to a camera shop and have a professional clean it.
Then go out and take more pictures! :)
thank you for posting a reply on my query
so its just dust then
I don't think I would dare touch that mirror
or anything in it ... so I'd just ask an expert if it still is there two weeks later
as for cicadas, I love their meh meh meh cries
they sound like a huge kite in the sky
they must be in a chorus complaining about having to stay only for a week above the ground after many years of being under the ground :)
Fair enough, you don't have to touch the mirror to move it to the 'up' position, there should just be a setting in the menu for it; but if your not comfortable doing that, taking it to a shop is the safest option.
The cicadas do have a very short life on the surface, they're not complaining about it though. Everyone that you hear is a male trying to appeal to female cicada, the louder the better! I'd be more supportive if they didn't reach airplane engine volumes! :P
thank you!
YOU SAVED MY CAMERA!
all fixed! and you saved me much money :)
as for cicadas of course you are right .. it's a booty call and boy the male are too loud but they're cute I actually like the sound I just can't imagine hearing it all day long or do they also get quiet at night?
You're very welcome, I'm glad I could help!
Sometimes cicadas do stop singing at night, but if the temperature is just right they can continue well into the evening, singing for booty. I'm fortunate to not live too close to places where they congregate, it can be louder than a jet-engine!
I see .. we don't have them here
I only hear them on Korean dramas and films shot in the country side
they do make much noises
Yeah, they put them on the sound track for Japanese dramas and movies that take place in the summer too. If they didn't, it wouldn't feel or sound like summer, it's that ubiquitous!
Waha.... i came back to see the solution though i don't have a camera. Busybody. If i get one it will be mirrorless
