Dust on the Image Sensor
Dust on the image sensor can greatly complicate the post-production
process, particularly when it comes to video. For this reason, we recom-
mend that, before exchanging lenses or the like, you configure the sensor
shield to close when the camera is turned off. This can be accomplished
by selecting [Sensor shield closes] for [Sensor shield behavior at pow-
er off] in the setup menu.
• Camera startup times may increase.
• The shield can be damaged by touching it when it is closed.
• When exchanging lenses with the shield closed, be sure to insert the
lens perpendicular to the mount. If inserted at an angle, lenses could
contact the sensor shield and damage the shield or the image sensor.
