Removing Dust with a Blower

Raise the mirror up and open the shutter to clean with a blower. Please contact PENTAX Service Center for professional cleaning because the CCD is a precision part. Cleaning services involve a fee. You can use the Imagesensor Cleaning Kit O-ICK1 (optional) when cleaning the CCD.

•Do not use a spray type blower.

•Do not clean the sensor when the shutter speed is set to h.

•Always cap the lens mount area to prevent dirt and dust from accumulating on the CCD when no lens is on the camera.

•When the battery level is low, [Not enough battery remaining to clean sensor] is displayed on the monitor.

•It is recommended to use the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional) when cleaning the sensor. If you are not using the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional), please use batteries with ample capacity remaining. If the battery capacity becomes low during cleaning, a warning beep will sound. Please stop cleaning immediately.

•Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If the power is turned off, this could cause damage to the shutter, CCD or the mirror.

•The self-timer lamp blinks while cleaning the sensor.

•This camera features a CCD shifting shake reduction system, and it may generate a vibration sound while cleaning the CCD. It is not a malfunction.

Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
