Removing Dust with a Blower
• Do not use a spray type blower.
• Do not clean the CCD when the exposure mode is set to p (Bulb) mode.
• 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 LCD monitor.
• If you are not using the AC adapter D-AC50, please use batteries with ample
capacity remaining. A warning beep will sound if the battery capacity
becomes low during cleaning. 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 sensor or the mirror.
• It is recommended to use the AC adapter D-AC50 (optional) when cleaning
the CCD.
• The self-timer lamp blinks and [Cln] appears on the LCD panel while cleaning
the CCD.
• This camera features a CCD shifting shake reduction system, and it may
generate some operating noise while cleaning the CCD. It is not a
malfunction.
