when necessary.

shutter curtains.

Cleaning the Sensor Now
For best results, perform the sensor cleaning with the camera placed
upright and stable on a table or other flat surface.
Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result will not improve much.
Immediately after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [Clean now
f]
option will remain disabled temporarily.
