EHold the camera so that the sun shines on the CCD and check the surface for dust.

FIn case of surface clean

RTurn the camera off and attach the lens cap, or if the lens is detached, attach a body cap to the camera.

In case of surface soiling

RContact a FUJIFILM dealer and request CCD cleaning. Or see Starting CCD cleaning (➝p.205).

CAUTION

•Note that this option is not available at batterylevels less than or while shooting multiple exposures.

•When cleaning the camera, always use the full charged battery or AC power adapter AC-135VN (sold separately) to prevent camera damage should the mirror drop or the shutter close.

•If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep will sound and the AF-assist illuminator will blink to warn that the shutter curtain will close and the mirror will lower in about two minutes. End cleaning or inspection immediately.

MEMO

To return to normal operation without raising the mirror, turn the camera off.

Starting CCD cleaning

Take great care to avoid scratching or damaging the CCD during cleaning, as you will be responsible for the possibly high cost of repairs (or replacement) by an authorized FUJIFILM dealer.

AUse a blower (without a brush attached) to remove any soiling on the CCD surface.

Appendices

MEMO

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.
