Notes
• When changing the lens, if dust or debris gets inside the camera and adheres to the
surface of the image sensor (the part that acts as the film), it may appear as dark
spots on the image, depending on the shooting environment. The camera vibrates
slightly when it is turned off, due to the anti-dust function, to prevent dust from
adhering to the image sensor. However, attach or remove the lens quickly
somewhere away from dusty locations.
