3About “Sensor cleaning: Manual”N

Under the [b] tab, [Sensor cleaning: Manual] is mainly for use by Canon service personnel. Dust which could not be eliminated by the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit can be directly cleaned off the sensor.

Therefore, you normally need not use this feature.

The surface of the imaging sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor needs to be cleaned directly, have it done by a Canon Service Center.

However, if you want to clean the sensor yourself, follow the procedure below:
