AC ADAPTER SAC-4
This is used to provide a constant electricity supply when shooting in the studio, or
taking indoor shots. It is also recommended for use when connecting the camera
to your computer to transfer data. (Please refer to page 23 for details)
MAINTENANCE
z Do not use chemicals or other cleaning agents such as thinners or benzene for
cleaning the camera and lens. Use a clean, soft cloth and blower to clean the
camera and lens. Lens cleaners can be used for removing fingerprints.
z Do not lubricate the camera, lens or lens contacts.
z Use a blower to remove dust and dirt from the color LCD monitor. To remove
fingerprints or other stains from the color LCD monitor, wipe the surface gently
with a soft, clean cloth. Do not apply excessive force, as this could damage the
color LCD monitor.
z The Sigma SD1 Merrill camera contains a dust protector located inside the
lens mount. The dust protector is a very delicate device and care must be
taken not to scratch its surface. Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from the
dust protector. Do not use a blower brush, as the bristles could scratch the dust
protector surface. To avoid damage, do not apply pressure to the dust
protector.
CLEANING THE IMAGE SENSOR
Although the SD1 Merrill is equipped with a dust protector to prevent dust or
dirt entering the camera, in rare circumstances, dust or dirt may adhere to
the image sensor, causing black spots to appear on images. If this occurs, it
may be necessary to clean the image sensor.
z The image sensor is extremely delicate and can easily be damaged. We
recommend that you contact an authorized Sigma Service Station to have the
sensor cleaned. We do not advise attempting the procedure yourself,
especially if you have no previous experience cleaning delicate optical
components.
WARNING!!
• The image sensor is a very important part of your camera. Please take all
necessary precautions to avoid damaging the sensor.
• Do not use an aerosol compressed air cleaner. Liquid may leak from the
cleaner and damage the image sensor or other electronics inside the camera.
