The CMOS sensor is like the film in a film camera. If any dust or other
foreign matter adheres to the CMOS sensor, it may show up as a dark
speck in the pictures you take. To avoid this, follow the procedure below
to clean the CMOS sensor. Note that the CMOS sensor is very delicate.
If possible, you should have it cleaned by a Canon Service Center.
When you want to clean the CMOS sensor, use the DC Coupler Kit to
power the camera with a household power outlet. If you use the battery,
make sure it is fully charged.
Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
