7D Digital Noise

1 posts
  1. Hey All,

     

    This is an odd question, but my 7D has more and more recently been showing digital noise in dark areas. I may not have noticed it back when i got the camera last year, but the more i look at my pics, the more it becomes apparent, even at low ISO 100 or 200. 400 seems unacceptable to shoot at when i look at the pics after the dive.

     

    My question is, how much is too much? Is this a RAW processing thing? Should i always accept noise and let Lightroom do its thing?

     

    My other concern is, I live in the Philippines. Would the continual humid air, and living by the coast, salty air, affect my sensor like it does eventually build up on a lens/filter? Should i manually clean the sensor regularly (if so how?) or just let the Canon built in sensor clean do its thing? dont want to push and wipe the sensor unnecessarily. Should i be keeping my camera somewhere special, if so, where?

     

    Lots of questions, hope you guys and girls and help with some answers/ solutions. I will try to upload a 1:1 crop of an image when i get some broadband speed!
