Cleaning the Image Sensor
Multiple photographs marred by spots or blotches in identical locations may indicate the presence
of dust on the camera image sensor. Clean the sensor using the V SENSOR CLEANING option in
the setup menu (P 86); if the problem persists, you can clean the sensor manually as described below.
Note that there will be a charge to repair or replace the image sensor if it is damaged during cleaning.

Q Do not use a brush or blower brush. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the sensor.
2
Check whether the dust has been successfully removed.
R Repeat Steps 1 and 2 as necessary.
