I've had my Mavic Mini for about a week and love it.  However, when I was cleaning the lens with a Canon microfiber cloth to remove any dust before putting it away, I noticed dust had accumulated between the protective glass and the lens.  All of my launches have been from concrete and not bare soil.  I have no other complaints except for this dust issue.

How do you clean that without taking the gimbal apart and voiding the warranty?  I couldn't find anything on the forum regarding this issue on this device. Thank you for your help!

Hello there James. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Does it affect the videos and the photos that you have captured? Since said dust is on the inside part of your DJI Mavic Mini's camera.

Thank you Stephen, I'll get in touch through the link.  Yes, it caused issues with flight as I left a shady area in flight into a bright sunny area and it was dangerously difficult to see.   I stopped, turned around and flew as I came to be safe.  I thought it was simply sun glare even though I had an ND8 filter on but determined it to be the dust between the glass/lens for the reason I couldn't see.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something simple that could be done on my end before contacting support.  Thanks again!
