Cleaning the camera

31.3 Infrared detector
31.3.1 General
Even small amounts of dust on the infrared detector can result in major blemishes in the
image. To remove any dust from the detector, follow the procedure below.
Note
• This section only applies to cameras where removing the lens exposes the infrared
detector.
• In some cases the dust cannot be removed by following this procedure: the infrared
detector must be cleaned mechanically. This mechanical cleaning must be carried out
by an authorized service partner.
CAUTION
In Step 2 below, do not use pressurized air from pneumatic air circuits in a workshop, etc., as this air
usually contains oil mist to lubricate pneumatic tools.
31.3.2 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. Remove the lens from the camera.
2. Use pressurized air from a compressed air canister to blow off the dust.
