My newly acquired cycling camera, the miniature Panasonic GM5, has suffered 
from a dirty sensor from the beginning. I tried to clean it myself but my 
efforts came to nothing, so I bit the bullet and sent it to Carmencita in 
Valencia to have it done professionally. I was aware that it might be an 
inherent problem with the sensor rather than just dirt but I was prepared to 
take the chance. The camera came back last week, with two pictures on the 
card taken by the lab, both at f22, showing clearly the ?before and after?. 
I went on to test the camera using my standard test protocol, i.e. just go 
out and take some pictures with lots of sky in them. Here are the results:

I would say that the sensor cleaning worked.

Cheers,
