●Set the Main Switch to 〈OFF〉.
The camera power turns off, the shutter
closes and the mirror is lowered.
●Set the Main Switch to 〈ON〉again, and the
camera will be ready to shoot pictures
normally.
●Never disconnect the camera power during cleaning. If the power is cut off, the
shutter will close and possibly damage the shutter curtain.
●Use a blower without a brush attached. Using a brush to remove dust from the
image element can damage the element.
●Do not insert a dust blower into the camera beyond the lens mount. If the power
shuts off and the shutter closes, this may damage the shutter curtains.
●Never use cleaning sprays or blower sprays. The pressure and freezing action
of the spray gas may damage the surface of the imaging element.
