3Cleaning the CMOS sensorN

The image sensor is like the film in a film camera. If any dust adheres on the image sensor, it may show up as a dark speck on the images. To avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the image sensor. Using the AC Adapter Kit ACK-E2 (optional, see page 166) is recommended. If you use a battery, make sure the battery level is sufficient.
