Inspecting and Cleaning the Image Sensor
This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on the image sensor and
to remove any dust or dirt from the image sensor surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction
function operates when the camera is turned on. The dust reduction function operates at the same
time as the pixel mapping, which checks the image sensor and image processing circuitry. Since dust
reduction is activated every time the camera’s power is turned on, the camera should be held upright
for the dust reduction function to be effective.
Pixel Mapping - Checking the image processing
functions
Check the image sensor and image processing functions simultaneously. For best results, wait at least a
minute after shooting and playback have ended before performing pixel mapping.
Select [Pixel Mapping] (P.419).
Select [Yes] and press the OK button.
The [Busy] bar is displayed when pixel mapping is in progress. When pixel mapping is
finished, the menu is restored.
If you accidentally turn the camera off during pixel mapping, start again from Step 1.
