CLEANING THE IMAGE SENSOR

If you feel qualified to clean the image sensor, prepare the following tools:

Small Phillips-head screwdriver

Blower (Do not attach the brush, as it can scratch the image sensor surface.)

1

Remove the CF-card first. Otherwise the camera cannot be set to cleaning mode.

2

Connect the AC adapter to the camera and plug it into a wall socket. (Refer to page 22)

3

Turn the “D”–Dial to the OFF position and remove the lens.

4

Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen and remove the screw securing the dust protector. Do not loosen any of the other screws. (Be careful not to let the removed screw fall into the mirror box.)

5

Remove the dust protector by pulling on the lug in the direction of the arrow as shown in the illustration. (Be careful not to touch the glass on the dust protector.)
