I am aware that the mirror is not on the optical path for taking the photograph but my dirty mirror is highly frustrating.
I have tried the blower, the brush and micro cloth but without success. A dealer back in the Dynax days recommended the use of blue-tack but I don't have the courage to try that approach.
Any suggestions? proprietary products that may work? any advice would be appreciated.
Regards

Re: Alpha700 Dirty Reflex Mirror
The mirror is both very sensitive to disturbance in its seating position, and very fragile being semi-silvered in some areas. It has an AR hard coating and can be fully cleaned using a sensor-swab (not flooded with too much solution) or a Visible Dust brush. Blu-tac leaves a greasy residue and is not safe to use. The dry brush with anti static is the best first resort. No pressure should be applied too firmly - same as with a sensor.
