p.s. mhc-art - I use a rocket blower, specific microfibre cloths and an Arctic Butterfly for cleaning the rest of the camera and they seem pretty effective.

theres not a lot you can do - applying a blower or mini vacum to the screen edge might work - but on the other hand might blow more cack in. At the end of the day you can either live with it or send it for a service (which might not be cheap)

dust will eventually get everywhere and non pro level cameras are built with weather/dust resistant seals. I use screen covers on my LCD (clear plastic things that stick on and can be peeled off when dirty) but this is more to protect against scratches, they wont stop dust getting under the edge.

Cheers Pete - I think it was using the Rocket blower near it that did it in the first place I don't normally but got a little carried away last clean. May try to rectify it if it get's annoying. It's not too bad at the mo. Thanks for the advice
