Manual Sensor Cleaning - Canon EOS 5D Mark III Instruction Manual

Manual Sensor CleaningN
3
Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can
be removed manually with a blower, etc. Before cleaning the sensor,
detach the lens from the camera.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the
sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon
Service Center is recommended.
If you use a battery, make sure it is fully charged. If the battery grip with size-
AA/LR6 batteries is attached, manual sensor cleaning will not be possible.
As power source, using the AC Adapter Kit ACK-E6 (sold separately) is
recommended.
