Cleaning the CCD - continued

Cleaning the CCD

1

Perform steps 1 to 5 in “Determining whether cleaning

is required” to swing the mirror up.

 

• Never disconnect the AC power adapter during cleaning as this can result

 

in damage to the camera shutter.

2

Use a blower to remove any soiling on the CCD surface.

Note

Points to Note when Cleaning the CCD

Use a blower that does not have a brush attached. Using a blower brush to clean soiling from the CCD can scratch the CCD surface.

If there is soiling on the CCD that cannot be removed using a blower, such as oil or fingermarks, take the camera to an authorized FUJIFILM dealer for cleaning. Never attempt to clean the CCD by wiping it as the CCD is extremely fragile.

3

Check that all the soiling has been removed and then

hold down both the self-timer button “!” and the AE

lock button “AE-L” as you switch the camera off. Then disconnect the AC power adapter from the camera.

• When you switch the camera off, the mirror drops down and the shutter closes at the same time. Ensure that your fingers are not caught inside the camera.
