Removing Dust with a Blower

Raise the mirror up and open the shutter to clean with a blower. Please
contact PENTAX service center for professional cleaning because the
CCD is a precision part. Cleaning services involve a fee.
You can use the Imagesensor Cleaning Kit O-ICK1 (optional) when
cleaning the CCD.
• Do not use a spray type blower.
• Do not clean the CCD when the exposure mode is set to p (Bulb) mode.
• Always cap the lens mount area to prevent dirt and dust from accumulating
on the CCD when no lens is on the camera.
• When the battery level is low, [Not enough battery remaining to clean sensor]
is displayed on the LCD monitor.
• If you are not using the AC adapter, please use batteries with ample capacity
remaining. A warning beep will sound if the battery capacity becomes low
during cleaning. Please stop cleaning immediately.
• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If the power is
turned off, this could cause damage to the shutter or the CCD sensor.
