Removing Dust with a Blower
• Do not use a spray type blower.
• Do not clean the sensor when the exposure mode is set to p (Bulb) mode.
• Always cap the lens mount area to prevent dirt and dust from accumulating
on the CCD when no lens is on the camera.
• When the battery level is low, [Not enough battery remaining to clean sensor]
is displayed on the monitor.
• If you are not using the AC adapter D-AC76 (optional), please use batteries
with ample capacity remaining. If the battery capacity becomes low during
cleaning, a message will be displayed on the monitor and a warning beep will
sound. Please stop cleaning immediately.
• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If the power is
turned off, this could cause damage to the shutter, CCD or the mirror.

the sensor.
• The self-timer lamp blinks and [Cln] appears on the LCD panel while cleaning
the sensor.
• This camera features a CCD shifting shake reduction system, and it may
generate a vibration sound while cleaning the CCD. It is not a malfunction.
