Removing Dust with a Blower
Do not use a spray type blower.
Do not clean the sensor when the shutter speed is set to h.
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.
It is recommended to use the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional) when cleaning
the sensor. If you are not using the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional), please
use batteries with ample capacity remaining. If the battery capacity becomes
low during cleaning, 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 self-timer lamp blinks 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.
