It's very easily marked and should be treated with at least as much care as the sensor beneath it.</P><P></P><P>The reason you see the spot on your images is that the mirror is of the 'pellicle' type which remains in place during exposure. This is the primary reason why you should never touch it, as it lies in direct path of the image and any/all marks on it will show up on your shots to some degree. </P><P></P><P>Treat it as you would the sensor: dust may be dislodged with a blower brush, but if you have something stuck it, take it to a decent camera store and get it professionally cleaned.</P><P></P><P>If you need advice for removing the mark from your photos, just ask <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.no/html/@4D7C97FD8435BC5F6F42C999D01DAE43/images/smilies/026.png" alt=":cool:" title=":cool:" /></P><P></P><P>Cheers</P><P>Mick</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:17:28 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/307336#M1031 Mick2011 2012-03-18T19:17:28Z Cleaning the mirror on A77V https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/307337#M1032 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Just in case I do this, what is the replacement part number and where can it be ordered from in the UK?</P><P></P><P>Many thanks</P><P></P><P>GB</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 25 Mar 2012 02:25:22 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/307337#M1032 blatchford 2012-03-25T02:25:22Z Re: Cleaning the mirror on A77V https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/307338#M1033 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P _mce_style="" style=";">The part number of the translucent mirror is The part number of the translucent mirror is A-1855-640-A and can be purchased on Sony's parts website at the following address:</P><P _mce_style="" style=";"><BR /></P><P style=";">www.servicesplus.sel.sony.com</P><P style=";"><BR /></P><P style=";">Your requested quote is as follows:</P><P style=";">Date of quote: 05/09/13</P><P style=";">Account: NA</P><P style=";">Quote number: 050913TH</P><P style=";">Part number: A1855640A</P><P style=";">Part description: P.O.I (SERVICE)</P><P style=";">Price: $ 33.42</P><P style=";">Availability: In stock<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 May 2013 20:32:54 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/307338#M1033 twhthi 2013-05-16T20:32:54Z A1855640A (mirror for a77) https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/1649063#M4291 <P>Hi Guys can you tel me the exacxt ocst of a replacemnet Sony A77 mirror including postage to postcode...SO304SL &nbsp; &nbsp; UK........and how you accept payment ....kind regards John</P> Tue, 10 Jun 2014 12:43:35 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/1649063#M4291 jcstudios1 2014-06-10T12:43:35Z Re: A1855640A (mirror for a77) https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/1651063#M4294 <P>You could just buy it from this Amazon seller:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sparepart-Sony-P-O-I-Service-A1855640A/dp/B00B184HLI">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sparepart-Sony-P-O-I-Service-A1855640A/dp/B00B184HLI</A></P> Wed, 11 Jun 2014 20:46:16 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/cleaning-the-mirror-on-a77v/m-p/1651063#M4294 eddiewood 2014-06-11T20:46:16Z
