It's a what photographers commonly call a dust bunny . It's most likely to be a tiny hair on the sensor and it'll be in most, if not all, of your shots. The ones you can't see it in, it'll probably be there, but in an area with doesn't show it up. Sky shows dust bunnies like nobodies business ;) if you stop down the aperture on the camera to f/8 or smaller and take a photo, you'll probably find the bunny becomes sharper/better defined.
To get rid of it, uncouple the gimbal from the I2, turn the camera so the lens points downwards, remove the lens and then gentle tap the camera body. If you're lucky, the dust will drop out and you're sorted.
If you're unlucky, it'll stay put and you'll need to clean the sensor. I'd advise investing in something like the arctic butterfly which is a small battery powered static brush which is designed specifically for dry cleaning dust from camera sensors. The brush is fine, clean and soft and doesn't have any loose brush hairs or oil in it which will contaminate the sensor. I've used them on my Big DSLRs for years and they've been worth every penny.
Reason for pointing the lens & camera down is to help stop anymore floating dust landing on the sensor.
If you don't want to spend the money on that, then find your nearest camera store and get a dust blower bulb. Main problem with the blower bulbs is that they can blow as much crud onto the sensor as they remove! If you buy one, give it several hard squeezes *before* pointing it at the sensor to eject and debris from the blower build first. Equally, don't blow into the sensor yourself as you'll most likely blow some saliva onto the sensor, and that will end up needing a wet clean to tremove the liquid stain/spot.
Hope that helps! |
