Nikon S2J00200401 user manual Cleaning the Filter, 197

Cleaning the Filter

The low-pass filter is extremely delicate and easily damaged. It is recommended that you have the filter cleaned by Nikon-authorized service personnel. Should you choose to ignore this warning and clean the filter yourself, follow the steps below.

1Raise the mirror as described in the first five steps of “Determining Whether the Filter Requires Cleaning.” Note that an EH-4 AC adapter (sold separately) is required for this operation; if no adapter is available, you will need to take the camera to a Nikon-authorized service center for cleaning.

2Remove dirt and dust from the filter with a blower. Do not use a blower-brush, as the bristles could dam- age the filter. Dirt that can not be removed with a blower can only be removed by Nikon-authorized per- sonnel. Under no circumstances should you touch or wipe the filter.

3Display the Mirror Lock-up for CCD Cleaning sub-menu as described above under steps 3 and 4 of “Determining Whether the Filter Requires Cleaning” and select the OFF option. The mirror will return to the down position and the shutter curtain will close.

4Turn the camera off and replace the lens or body cover, then unplug the AC adapter.
