Follow the instructions in "The Low-Pass Filter" section of the manual (page 125 in my copy).Despite the warning never to touch or wipe the filter, if you're feeling brave you can use a good sensor-cleaning kit to remove stubborn matter. Any good camera store should be able to sell you a proper sensor-cleaning kit. (By "proper" I mean something better than Windex and a cotton swab.)

Clean sensor image sensor ccd

The image sensor in the Coolpix S200 is not self cleaning. There are a number of videos on YouTube that say they show you how to clean it, but unless your camera is really effected by a dirty sensor and you are very skilled at disassembling tiny electronic devices, I wouldn't recommend them.

There is some black unremovable dots (not visible on sensor sirface). Is IMAGE DUST OFF REFERENCE DATA helpful to remove that black dust like dot from image? how can I use that feture?

Black, unremovable dots are probably bad pixels in the sensor. These are parts of the sensor that no longer react to light. If you don't see any issue looking through the viewfinder, then the sensor is messed up. Since you say you don't see anything on the surface, I assume the optical part of the camera is in tact. You can try cleaning the sensor - Menu - Setup - Clean Image Sensor - it certainly can't hurt.

Blotches on images especially images with a light background eg.

This is probably due to dust or other foreign matter on the CCD. Look at the Pentax *ist DL manual under "CCD cleaning" or "sensor cleaning" for instructions.

There is a "sensor cleaning" mode in the Set-up menu that will lock the mirror up so you can inspect/clean the CCD sensor.

Spot on images

Sorry, I read this as being for a Nikon N70 35mm SLR, but now see that it's a Canon EOS 350d.

In that case, you simply have a dirty image sensor. Either use a DIY sensor cleaning kit on the sensor (put the camera body into "sensor cleaning mode" to expose the sensor), or get a professional cleaning done. Professional is best for a one off, but as the problem will re-occur then there's no substitute for the experience you'll gain by doing it yourself. Until you get good at sensor cleaning, just clone out the artefacts using your preferred image editing software.

White spots on images

Does the camer have a removable lens. Is it an SLR camera. If so, there probably is microscopic dust on your sensor, or you have some dead pixels on your sensor. If you can get to the sensor, you can easily clean it with a cleaning kit. The most effective way of cleaning is to blow it off with clean air. Be gentle. On an SLR it is necessary to lock the mirror up. Your instruction book will explain how to do that. For more suggestions, Google cleaning my camera sensor and you will get a lot of suggestions. :-)

Cleaning the image sensor

Check with your local Camera store first or the makers website before you get handy. A very soft and fine make up brush may come in handy But check it our first
