Thanks Markus, Pinhole
I tried the sensor cleaning... no effect. I've got cleaning disabled on startup / shutdown at moment.
Shop assistant was convinced it's moisture spots, but without seeing the pics - simply because sensor clean off hadn't worked.
Now that I think about it, I can only check back to light background photographs without spots which were taken just before I forgot to switch camera off before changing lens. Duh <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
I was sitting on a bench near a small stream - there was no splashing as far as I can remember. Other than that, I can't think how it would have got moisture spots in there.
I'll phone Nikon service tomorrow... shop thought they might clean it free of charge once... or shop will do it for £45..!
Before I get to that, would you recommend trying blowing it out with compressed air..? (Although I don't have an AC adapter to lock the mirror up for cleaning if I'd need to).
