The user-executed cleaning takes about 4 sec. to complete. During the
sensor cleaning, the shutter will make 3 shutter-release sounds. The
camera is not taking pictures.
For best results, do the sensor cleaning while the camera bottom is
placed on a table or other surface at a perpendicular angle.
Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning multiple times, the result will not
improve that much. Right after the sensor cleaning is finished, the
[Cleaning nowf] option will remain disabled temporarily.
