Help to identify mark on the X-T3 sensor (appeared after warranty repair)


Recommended Posts

It lowkey looks like a micro scratch. But it's not easy to see, you can see it only under certain angle and lighting. I've tried to look that closer with a magnifier etc, and have really no idea what's that. Problem is that I'm from Russia and authorized repair service center want to passively put a blame on me. That's not the Fuji's fault, it's the particular regional service center. The sensor wasn't even that dirty before the repair in the first place. There's also visible smudge on the right side, and also two more horizontal scratch-like marks more on the left, almost in center area of the sensor, but it's really really hard to see and I noticed it just by pure luck with a magnifier.

The head of that service repair center told me to take pics with closed down aperture and focus to infinity, which I did (f/22), and there's no visible traces, but yet mark is there and tbh it doesn't matter if it affects image or not, I bought the camera July 21st 2020, it's quite new. He told that it could an "oil mark from the shutter". I'm not a specialist and wanna ask people what it could be, if it's possible to somewhat identify by photo and video. The service itself is a joke, but it's a whole another story (i'm quite depressed because all of that by now).

The repair was flex cable of shutter button replacement, and as I've been told in that service center, you don't even need to open mount lid for this kind of repair, but I dunno, maybe they accidentally did something not during repair, but during diagnostics. 

X-T3 users, maybe if it's really oil mark or something, maybe you or just anyone familiar with that kind of traces? Thanks for any hints.

Here's video :

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing, but it is well worth the effort.

    • Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?
    • See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.   
    • What's the deal Fuji X Forum? I'm noticing there are seldom replies to any topics - except for advertisements posted as replies. Really lame. Anyone else noticing the only reply they receive to a question is an advert?  🤠 fotomatt in Colorado
