3Appending Dust Delete DataN

Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust visible on captured images. However, in case visible dust still remains, you can append Dust Delete Data to the image to later erase the dust spots. The Dust Delete Data is used by the Digital Photo Professional program (provided) to erase the dust spots automatically.
