Cleaning the CMOS Sensor
Shadows may appear in the image for white backgrounds and other
shooting conditions if the CMOS sensor becomes dirty or dusty. This
indicates that the CMOS sensor must be cleaned.
Dust adhering to the CMOS sensor is removed by applying ultrasonic
vibrations to the filter on the front surface of the CMOS sensor for
approximately one second.
