3Manual Sensor CleaningN

Dust which could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can be removed manually with a blower, etc.

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

Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
