cleaning - Where is this dust located on my sensor?


I have a really nasty looking piece of dust on my 550D's sensor, situated in the top right-hand corner of each image I take with anything higher than f/11. I am going to get a decent sensor cleaning kit, but I'd like to know which corner of the sensor should I focus on to get rid of this annoying particle?


In other words, does a lens flip the incoming light from left to right and turn it upside down? I think that's correct, so that means the answer in this diagram will be A, correct?

And before anyone asks - yes, I will clean the entire sensor while I'm in there, but this will help me focus on this particular (pun intended) problem. Thanks in advance!



Answer



C is the correct answer.



Well, actually it's A if you look at the sensor from the back, but my guess is that you will turn the camera around and access the sensor from the front. So it's C.
