the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this
operation. However, you can execute the sensor cleaning at anytime as
well as disable it.

For best results, do the sensor cleaning while the camera bottom is
placed on a table or other flat surface.
Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result will not improve that
much. Right after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [Clean now
f]
option will remain disabled temporarily.
