Note
A blower is not supplied with this product. Use a commercially available blower.
Cleaning can be performed only when the battery level is (3 remaining battery
icons) or more.
Do not use a spray type blower as it may scatter water droplets inside the camera body.
Do not put the tip of a blower into the cavity beyond the lens mount area, so that the tip of
the blower does not touch the image sensor.
Hold the camera slightly face downward so that the dust falls out.
Do not subject the product to any shock during cleaning.
When cleaning the image sensor with a blower, do not blow too hard. If you blow the
sensor too hard, the inside of the product may be damaged.
When you attach the lens after you finish cleaning the image sensor, confirm that the
mirror has been completely pushed down. Otherwise, it may damage the lens or lead to a
malfunction. Also, if the mirror has not been pushed down completely, the autofocus
system will not be able to achieve proper focus.
