Dust, hair inside the lens
 

Hey, I have a GL2, that has a piece of hair or dust right in the center of the lens. I use a UV filter but when I took it off, I find that the hair is not on the filter. I tried cleaning the flourite lens itself but it seems to be inside the covering too. What is a safe and effective way to get rid of this? It shows up clearly when shooting in sunlight.

Thanks,

Hello Phong and Welcome!
 

Well, how do you feel about shooting only low-light scenes? <g>

Seriously, if you're certain that the hair is inside the lens itself (uncommon but not impossible) it will be impossible for you to remove it safely. You'll have to send the camera to a Canon service center. Being a new model it must still be under warranty and since this would probably constitute a "defect in workmanship" the cost to you should be nil.

Thanks Ken
 

Thanks Ken for the response. I actually prefer low-light scenes because I feel it it my type. But I will have to shoot in daylight also. I don't think enough video is shot at night or in low-light, that is why. I will contact Canon once I have time, hopefully all goes well.

Thanks Again,

Phong
