Dirt inside the lens
I have noticed that there is a small bit of floating particle (or dut or something) on the inside of my XM2 lens. The Camera is about 2 1/2 years old so well out of warranty. Is there an easy way to get it out ? Would it be safe to take the lens assembly apart?

Might it be air bubbles in the VAP, likely to happen after a flight. If so they should go away in a week or so as pressures equalize again.

If it is behind the front piece of glass it is possible to disassemble the camcorder to get to it, but that is a risky business best reserved to qualified camcorder technicians. A less qualified person could easily end up with a pile of camcorder parts.
Does the thing show up in the recorderd image?

You're probably right. My main concern is introducing more foreign obects into the lens if I take it apart. It does show on the recorded image, depending on Zoom and light levels. |

Have the whole camera serviced at two year intervals.
