Nikon Europe post official resolution on Nikon D600 sensor dust issue

Nikon-D600

Nikon Europe posted an article on the Nikon D600 sensor dust issue.

Here is the article detail below:

Some users have indicated the appearance of multiple granular dust spots in images captured with the Nikon D600 digital-SLR camera. These granular dust spots are reflections of internal dust generated with camera operation, or external dust particles that have found their way into the camera, either, or both of which, have adhered to the camera’s low-pass filter.

While the structure and concept of digital-SLR cameras makes the complete elimination of these dust spots very difficult, it has come to our attention that, in some rare cases, they may be reflected noticeably in images. Therefore, Nikon is informing users of a service to reduce this issue.

And the Resolution is:

As a first step, please follow the guidance from the User’s Manual (pages 301-305) related to the “Clean Image Sensor” function and manual cleaning using a blower. If these measures do not remove all dust particles and you are still experiencing problems, then please consult your nearest Nikon service center. They will keep your camera, examine it thoroughly, and service it as needed.

Requesting service

Please direct inquiries regarding this matter to your nearest Image Nikon service center.

We hope that you will continue to choose Nikon for your photographic needs.

  1. I’ve one of these D600 … At the moment it’s at the Nikon Service Center … hope everything is working fine after cleaning, as my D80 worked perfect for the 7 years I owned it.

  2. I had the spots (very visible) on mine after around 2,000 actuations. Sent it to the service center and they sent it back after cleaning (only). The spots came back during my next photo shoot. Cleaning is not the solution because they will come back so I returned the camera to give myself some peace. Disappointed with the 6000. Have my D7000 and now the D800.

    1. After trying 3 different D600 bodies (from Dec to Jan), found the same dust issue. Nikon service useless. Very disappointed. Finally bought the D800 and happy with it. Amazing results. Cheers.
