If it's dust. Ignore it, it won't show on the pictures.

If it's fungus, then go and clean it.

dust issues are common. Open up the aperture blades and look thru the lens, if the dust issue appear black spots, then it may be necessary to send for cleaning.

One simple test is to look thru the lens by placing it on the light panel with aperture wide open.

Dust won't damage the lens.
Fungus does...

Are you using a D-series or G-series lens?

If your lens is a G lens which doesn't come with an aperture ring, there is this little lever at the rear of the lens near the mounting bayonet which the camera actually uses to open up and control the aperture. Just push it upwards (IIRC) and the aperture will open up. Otherwise just use the aperture ring to open up the aperture.

And if your lens is a D-series lens, just turn the aperture ring to the widest possible f/stop number.

dust can be normal even in new lenses, and doesn affect the IQ unless there is lots of it
cleaning dust that do not affect the picture will affect ur wallet+++
