Dust is probably on the finder screen. Just give the mirror box another blow out- don't try to physically clean the screen as they are usually quite delicate. It helps to keep the camera pointing down as well.

The first time you blow out a camera you tend to disturb dust that was elesewhere as well - not just on the sensor.......

No compredi, surely the Rocket Blower is a puffer, just a bit better? Its the compressed air that should be avoided.

I have not had problems with my K10D, the shake routine deals with dust very well. I only twice needed to use the Rocket, but have not needed t swab it ever.

Hope I haven't spoken too soon.
