Removing Dust with a Blower
• The self-timer lamp blinks while cleaning the sensor.
• This camera features a CMOS sensor corresponding to the Shake Reduction
system, and it may generate a vibration sound while cleaning the CMOS
sensor. It is not a malfunction.
• Do not use a spray type blower.
• 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 AC Adapter kit K-AC1202 (optional) 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 and CMOS sensor.
