❚❚Manual Cleaning

If foreign matter can not be removed from the image sensor using the Clean image sensor option in the setup menu (0 313), the sensor can be cleaned manually as

described below. Note, however, that the sensor is extremely delicate and easily damaged. Nikon recommends that the sensor be cleaned only by Nikon-authorized service personnel.

A reliable power source is required when inspecting or cleaning the image

sensor. Turn the camera off and insert a fully-charged EN-EL15 battery or connect an optional EP-5B power connector and EH-5b AC adapter. The Lock mirror up for cleaning option is only available in the setup menu at battery levels over J.

Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
