Dust in camera

[Unicorn]

Just a quick question im an idiot at photography seriously. I have a Canon 400d Eos with a 18-55 lens and 80-200 lens

Changing these out can be a pain as dust somehow enjoys finding its way into the camera. My rocket blower doesn't always do a great job and iv had to replace my focusing screen and some dust is unfortunately on the wrong side of this now.

From what i know it will never show on the image but just to be sure if its well and truly stuck i won't face a problem were it somehow ends up finding its way onto my sensor? If so im going to have to remove it and blow it off again and retry.

Any tips for dust removal and keeping it out on lens changes also?

It'll not find it's way out from behind the focusing screen easily to get to your sensor (where it'll impact images).

It looks like changing the screen is the same as other Canon's i've used so is quite straight forward to remove the existing focusing screen and try and dislodge the offending dust. Caveat is be very careful if you do try it, keep the open face of camera body angled downwards when you do anything that way less likely for stuff to fall into it.

Keeping dust out is just common sense mostly but sometimes unavoidable and just something that needs to be taken care of once in a while.
