CLEANING THE IMAGE SENSOR

6

Set the “D”-Dial to and press the RES and buttons together for 3 seconds. (The CL icon will be displayed on the top LCD panel, the shutter will open and you will be able to see the image sensor).

7

Carefully blow away any dust from the image sensor using the blower.

Make sure that the tip of blower does not protrude inside the lens mount. If the power supply should suddenly shut off, the shutter curtain and mirror will close. These delicate parts could hit the blower and damage the camera.

8

Once you are done cleaning the image sensor,

turn the “D” –Dial to the OFF position. Check

that there is no dust or dirt on the dust protector. Replace the dust protector as shown in the illustration, and secure the screw. Be sure to carefully align the dust protector and do not use force when securing it in place.

If the dust or dirt cannot be removed with the above-mentioned procedure, consult with Sigma-authorized service personnel.

If you see fingerprints on the glass portion of the dust protector, first use a blower to remove any dust, then gently wipe it with a soft, clean cloth.
