How to clean Nikon D50?

Question

My dad's Nikon D50 has a dirty spot between the lens and the viewfinder, and he can't really find where it is. Does anybody have a way to clean it without damaging the camera? The spot is one of those stains you get on your glasses after a month without maintainance.

Answer 2

It's probably on his focusing screen or on the mirror.

I wouldn't follow Ken Rockwell's advice; he doesn't even clean his sensor.

Instead, since the spot seems to be on the mirror or focusing screen, see this much more practical advice here:
