Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) events may cause immediate and unrecoverable damage to the
image sensor. Please read the following instructions and take EXTREME CARE when cleaning the
image sensor surface.
■ ALWAYS take appropriate anti-static precautions when cleaning or working near the Image
sensor.
■ DO NOT use any form of cleaning equipment using electrostatic or 'charged fiber' technology.
■ Please discharge any electrostatic build up in your body by touching a grounded metallic
surface before working near the camera sensor.
■ Very gently, use only clean and dry air to remove dust from surface of the image sensor.
■ To remove stubborn contamination use the highest grade (e.g. VLSI grade) pure Isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) with optical wipes of 'clean room' grade.
■ Extreme care must be taken! Gently wipe across the sensor in a single action.
(DO NOT rub to avoid abrasive damage to delicate optical coatings on the glass surface.)
