¡ Be sure not to turn off the camera while cleaning the CMOS sensor. If the
power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains might
be damaged.
¡ Use a blower not attached with a brush. The brush can scratch the
CMOS sensor.
¡ Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If

damage then.
¡ Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
