CARE/STORAGE ▸ SENSOR 161
Important
• Any inspection or cleaning of the sensor should be done in an en-
vironment that is as much as possible dust-free to prevent further
contamination.
• A message will appear on the LCD panel, once the capacity of
the rechargeable battery falls below 40% with the shutter fully
open: Please stop sensor cleaning immediately. Shutdown in
%d s. . The shutter will automatically close when the camera is
switched off.
• Make sure that the aperture is unobstructed and that nothing can
prevent the shutter from closing correctly, as this would result in
damage to the equipment!
• Do not attempt to physically blow dust particles off the cover
glass of the sensor. The smallest droplets of saliva could cause
stains that will be difficult to remove.
• Do not use high pressure compressed air cleaners as they may
also cause damage.
• Avoid touching the sensor surface with any hard object during
inspection and cleaning.
