5 Raise the mirror.

Press the shutter-release button all the way down. The mirror will be raised and the

shutter curtain will open, revealing the low- pass filter. The display in the viewfinder will

turn off and the row of dashes in the control panel will flash.

6 Examine the low-pass filter.

Holding the camera so that light falls on the low-pass filter, examine the filter for dust or lint. If no foreign objects are present, proceed to Step 8.

7 Clean the filter.

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 can not be removed with a blower can only be removed by Nikon-authorized service personnel.

Under no circumstances should you touch or wipe the filter.

8Turn the camera off.

The mirror will return to the down position and the shutter curtain will close. Replace the lens or body cap.
