Examine the low-pass fi lter.
Holding the camera so that light
falls on the low-pass fi lter, examine
the fi lter for dust or lint. If no for-
eign objects are present, proceed
to Step 8.
Clean the fi lter.
Remove any dust and lint from the
fi lter with a blower. Do not use a
blower-brush, as the bristles could
damage the fi lter. Dirt that can not
be removed with a blower can only
be removed by Nikon-authorized
service personnel. Under no cir-
cumstances should you touch or
wipe the fi lter.
Turn the camera off .
The mirror will return to the down position and the shutter curtain will close. Replace the lens
or body cap.
