Cleaning
the
CMOS
sensor*
The image sensor
is
like the film
in
a film camera. If any dust adheres
on
the image sensor, it may show up as a dark speck
on
the images.
To
avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the image sensor.
Using the AC Adapter Kit ACK-E2 (optional, see page 26, 184)
is
I
recommended. If you use a battery, make sure the battery level
is
sufficient. Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
Install
the
DC
Coupler
(p.26)
or
a
battery
and
turn
the
<
~
>
switch
to
<ON>.
Select
[Sensor
cleaning].
Turn the <0 > dial to select [tT
Sensor
cleaning], then press <§ >.
If you are using a battery with
sufficient power, the screen shown
in
step 3 will appear.
If the battery
is
exhausted, a warning
message will appear and you will not
be able to proceed further. Either
recharge the battery or use a DC
coupler and start from step 1 again.
Select
[OK].
Turn the
<0>
dial to select [OK],
then press
<§
>.
In
a moment, the mirror will lockup
and the shutter will open.
"CLEA n" will blink
on
the LCD panel.
