Manual Cleaning

If foreign matter cannot be removed from the image sensor
using image sensor cleaning, the sensor can be cleaned
manually as described below. Note, however, that the sensor is
extremely delicate and easily damaged; we recommend that
manual cleaning be performed only by a Nikon-authorized
service representative.
1
Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
2
Holding the camera so that
light can enter the camera,
examine the image sensor for
dust or lint.
If no foreign objects are present,
proceed to Step 4.
3
Remove any dust and lint from
the sensor with a blower.
•
Do not use a blower-brush. The
bristles could damage the sensor.
•
Dirt that cannot be removed with a
blower can only be removed by
Nikon-authorized service personnel. Under no
circumstances should you touch or wipe the sensor.
4
Replace the lens or supplied body cap.
