I searched for awhile trying to find out exactly <em>how</em> the shutter curtains could be damaged, so I'm glad the mystery has been solved :) Dave, thanks a lot for providing that info, it makes perfect sense.

If you lock up pointing into a very bright light source, say the sun reflecting off a car you may cause the black paint to vaporize (very small amounts) which creates a fine black smoke inside the camera that slowly coats everything.

I have noticed, like you did, that there is no whitepaper for the T1i, and having put my XTi away for safekeeping, I never thought to read it. There's a saying in the computer geek community: RTFM, or Read The Fine Manual. You did, and passed along some valuable information. All the best! Steve, Thanks for this info.
