Sensor Cleaning
While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If
o
the power is cut off, the shutter will close. These may result in
damaging the image sensor and shutter curtains.
• Setting the power switch to < 2 >.
• Removing or inserting the battery.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor
o
with care.
Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the
o
sensor.
Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount.
o
If the power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains
may get damaged.
Never use pressurized air or gas to clean the sensor. Pressurized air
o
may damage the sensor, and sprayed gas may freeze on the sensor and
scratch it.
If the battery level becomes low while cleaning the sensor, the beeper
o
will sound as a warning. Stop cleaning the sensor.
If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the
o
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
