(5) Display the images on the computer with image viewing software.
(6) Set the image to life size (1:1) and confirm dust. (Better to make clear the position of dust with
such as coordinate)
If you see dust clearly on image, there is possibility that the dust enters into the inside of
CCD. (Disassembly and cleaning or replace T600)
[Cleaning method of dust]
