Determining if the Imager
is Dirty

Examining a Test Image

April 29, 2004
The imager records light when you capture an image. If it should get dirty,
the quality of your images can be affected.
Even though the imager is located inside the camera, it can get dirty. There
are two ways to determine whether it needs cleaning:
• Examine a test image and look for imperfections that indicate dirt on the
imager.
• Visually inspect the imager for dirt.
1. Capture an image of a plain white object, such as a clean, white wall.
2. Examine the image on the computer using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL
DCS Photo Desk software. Imperfections in the image, such as dark
clusters or streaks, may indicate a dirty imager.
