About dirt on the image sensor

This camera features an interchangeable lens system so dirt may get inside the camera body when changing lenses. Depending on the recording conditions, dirt on the image sensor may appear on the recorded picture.

Do not change lenses where there is a lot of dust, and always attach the body cap when a lens is not attached to the camera, so that dirt or dust does not get inside the camera body. Remove any dirt on the body cap before attaching it.
