Removing Dust with a Blower
• Do not use a spray type blower.
• Do not clean the sensor when the shutter speed is set to h.
• Always cap the lens mount area to prevent dirt and dust from accumulating
on the CCD when no lens is on the camera.
• When the battery level is low, [Not enough battery remaining to clean sensor]
is displayed on the monitor.
• It is recommended to use the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional) when cleaning
the sensor. If you are not using the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional), please
use batteries with ample capacity remaining. If the battery capacity becomes
low during cleaning, a warning beep will sound. Please stop cleaning
immediately.
• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If the power is
turned off, this could cause damage to the shutter, CCD or the mirror.
• The self-timer lamp blinks while cleaning the sensor.
• This camera features a CCD shifting shake reduction system, and it may
generate a vibration sound while cleaning the CCD. It is not a malfunction.
