capacity remaining. If the battery capacity becomes low during cleaning, a

Please stop cleaning immediately.
Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If the power is

the sensor.
This camera features a CMOS sensor shifting shake reduction system, and
it may generate a vibration sound while cleaning the CMOS sensor. It is not
a malfunction.
