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 sensor when the shutter speed is set to h.
• 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 monitor.
• It is recommended to use the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional) when cleaning
the sensor. If you are not using the AC adapter kit K-AC84 (optional), please
use batteries with ample capacity remaining. If the battery capacity becomes
low during cleaning, a warning beep will sound. 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, CCD or the mirror.
• The self-timer lamp blinks while cleaning the sensor.
• This camera features a CCD shifting shake reduction system, and it may
generate a vibration sound while cleaning the CCD. It is not a malfunction.
