When you switch the power to <1> or <2> (or Camera auto off), the
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will operate automatically to remove dust on the
image sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this operation. You can
also activate or stop the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit when necessary.

On the dialog screen, select [OK] and

The screen will indicate that the sensor is
being cleaned. Although there will be a
shutter sound, a picture is not taken.
The camera will restart.
The sensor cleaning also works while no
lens is attached. If no lens is attached, do
not insert your finger or blower tip beyond
the lens mount. This is to prevent
damage to the 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 nowf] option
will remain disabled temporarily.
