Camera Problem


 
 
Has anyone ever seen this problem before? I have had my Canon 70D for about 10 months now and this problem just happened today. I noticed the dark, curved line over to the right in every photo I took. I have uploaded a pic for reference.

  Is there something on the sensor? Try and use a big blower and see if it comes off. Not canned air, just a blower.

  Everything is clean. I have taken a magnifying glass and looked for something and there just isn't anything. It has to be a camera related problem though because I have tried two different lenses and get the same line on every photo.

  Highlighted Comment: There's a hair or some kind of fiber somewhere. It could on the sensor, on the curtain, the shutter blades, or the mirror. Get a flash light, pen light would be good enough, and look at all those in a dark room.
Having the flash light as the only light will help really small things show up due to the contrast of a point light source.
It's curved and kinda long so I don't think it's just dust.

  Gregory, I took your advice, dark room with a bright pen light and sure enough there it was. A fiber of some sort about an inch long. I had looked for over an hour and couldn't see anything but as soon as I tried the dark room/pen light trick I could see it plain as day. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
