Caring for the Camera

6 Remove any dust and lint from the filter with a blower.

Do not use a blower-brush, as the bristles could damage the filter. Dirt that cannot be removed with a blower can only be removed by Nikon-authorized service personnel. Under no circumstances should you touch or wipe the filter.

7Turn the camera off.

The mirror will be lowered and the shutter curtain will close. Replace the lens or body cap.

Maximizing the Life of the Camera

B Foreign Matter on the Low-Pass Filter

 

Nikon takes every possible precaution to prevent foreign matter from coming into contact with the

 

low-pass filter during production and shipping. The D60, however, is designed to be used with

 

interchangeable lenses, and foreign matter may enter the camera when lenses are removed or

 

exchanged. Once inside the camera, this foreign matter may adhere to the low-pass filter, where it

 

may appear in photographs taken under certain conditions. To protect the camera when no lens is

 

in place, be sure to replace the body cap provided with the camera, being careful to first remove all

 

dust and other foreign matter that may be adhering to the body cap.

 

Should foreign matter find its way onto the low-pass filter, clean the filter as described above, or

 

have it cleaned by authorized Nikon service personnel. Photographs affected by the presence of

 

foreign matter on the filter can be retouched using Capture NX (available separately; A 156) or the

 

clean image options available in some third-party imaging applications.
