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.

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
