Cleaning the Imager and Cleaning/ Replacing the KG5 Filter Glass

CAUTION: In the following steps you will expose the imager to the environment. Because the imager is sensitive to static discharge, you must observe the static discharge control measures described below.

As you complete these steps, be certain that you do not touch the inside of the camera back (except as instructed).

Cleaning the Imager

The imager is the component of the DCS 465 Camera Back that records light when you take a picture. Even though it is located inside the camera back, it is still possible for the imager to become dirty.

The directions in this section describe how to determine if the imager needs cleaning, and how to clean the imager.

Determining if the Imager is Dirty

There are two ways to determine whether the imager needs cleaning:

You can take a test picture and look at the image for imperfections that indicate dirt on the imager.

You can visually inspect the imager for dirt.

Both techniques are described below.
