Removing Dust with a Blower
• The self-timer lamp blinks while cleaning the sensor.
• This camera may generate a vibration sound while cleaning the CMOS
sensor. It is not a malfunction.
• You can use the optional imagesensor cleaning kit to clean the CMOS
sensor.
• Never use a spray blower or a blower with a brush. They may scratch the
CMOS sensor. Also, do not wipe the CMOS sensor with a cloth.
• Do not clean the sensor when the mode dial is set to p.
• To prevent dirt and dust from accumulating on the CMOS sensor, keep the
body mount cover on the camera when a lens is not attached.
• When the battery level is low, [Not enough battery power remaining to clean
sensor] is displayed on the monitor.
• It is recommended to use the optional AC adapter kit when cleaning the
sensor. If you do not use the AC adapter kit, install the battery with ample
power remaining. If the battery capacity becomes low during cleaning, the
self-timer lamp blinks rapidly. In this case, stop cleaning immediately.
• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If the power is
turned off, this may cause damage to the shutter, CMOS sensor and the
mirror.
