fAutomatic Sensor Cleaning
When you switch the power to <1> or <2> (or Camera auto off), the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will operate automatically to remove dust on the image sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this operation. You can also activate or stop the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit when necessary.

XThe screen will indicate that the sensor is being cleaned. Although there will be a shutter sound, a picture is not taken.
XThe sensor cleaning also works while no lens is attached. If no lens is attached, do not insert your finger or blower tip beyond the lens mount. This is to prevent damage to the shutter curtains.
The camera will restart.
For best results, perform the sensor cleaning with the camera placed upright and stable on a table or other flat surface.
Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result will not improve much. Immediately after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [Clean nowf] option will remain disabled temporarily.
