25.3 Infrared detector

25.3.1 General

Even small amounts of dust on the infrared detector can result in major blemishes in the
image. To remove any dust from the detector, follow the procedure below.
Note
• This section only applies to cameras where removing the lens exposes the infrared
detector.
• In some cases the dust cannot be removed by following this procedure: the infrared de-
tector must be cleaned mechanically. This mechanical cleaning must be carried out by
an authorized service partner.
CAUTION
In Step 2 below, do not use pressurized air from pneumatic air circuits in a workshop, etc., as this air usu-
ally contains oil mist to lubricate pneumatic tools.

Follow this procedure:
1. Remove the lens from the camera.
2. Use pressurized air from a compressed air canister to blow off the dust.
