f Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Whenever you set the power switch to <1/R> or <2>, the
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is activated to automatically shake off the
dust on the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to
this operation. However, you can manually perform sensor cleaning or
can disable this unit as follows.
Cleaning the Sensor Now
The screen will indicate that the sensor is being cleaned. (A small
sound may be heard.) Although there will be a mechanical sound of
the shutter, no picture is taken.
After sensor cleaning is finished, the camera will automatically turn
off and on.
For best results, perform the sensor cleaning with the camera placed
upright and stable on a table or other flat surface.
Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result will not improve much.
Immediately after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [Clean nowf]
option remains disabled temporarily.
Dots of light may appear on images if the sensor has been affected by
cosmic rays, etc. By selecting [Clean nowf], their appearance may
be suppressed (p.518).
Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
In step 2, select [Auto cleaningf] and set it to [Disable].
The sensor cleaning will no longer be performed when you set the
power switch to <1/R> or <2>.
