The mirror rises up.

u Caution

• Never use a spray blower or a blower with a brush. The

CMOS sensor may be damaged. Do not wipe the CMOS

sensor with a cloth.

• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If

the power is turned off during cleaning, it may cause damage

to the shutter, the CMOS sensor, and the mirror. Hold the

camera with the lens mount down while cleaning the sensor

so dust will fall away from the sensor when the blower is used.

• When the battery level is low, the message [Not enough

battery power remaining to clean sensor] is displayed on the

monitor. Install a fully charged battery. If the battery capacity

becomes low during cleaning, a warning beep will sound. In

this case, stop cleaning immediately.

t Memo

• Please contact your nearest service center for professional

cleaning as the CMOS sensor is a precision part.

• You can use the optional Image Sensor Cleaning Kit O-ICK1

when cleaning the CMOS sensor.
