Holding the camera so that light can enter, examine the
image sensor for dust or lint.
If no foreign objects ar
e present, proceed to Step4.
Remove any dust and lint from the sensor with a blower.
Do not use a blower
-brush. The bristles could damage the
sensor.
Dirt that cannot be removed with a blower can only be
removed by Nikon-authorized service personnel. Under no
circumstances should you touch or wipe the sensor.
Manual Cleaning
If foreign matt
er cannot be removed from the image sensor using image sensor cleaning, the sensor
can be cleaned manually as described below. Note, however, that the sensor is extremely delicate
and easily damaged; we recommend that manual cleaning be performed only by a Nikon-authorized
service representative.
Select [Sensor shield stays open] for [Sensor shield behavior at power off] in the setup menu.
Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
Replace the lens or supplied body cap.
