D Foreign Matter on the Image Sensor
For
eign matter entering the camera when lenses or body caps are removed or exchanged (or in rare
circumstances lubricant or fine particles from the camera itself) may adhere to the image sensor, where
it may appear in photographs taken under certain conditions. To prevent entry of foreign matter when
attaching the body cap or exchanging lenses, avoid dusty environments and be sure to remove all dust
and other foreign matter that may be adhering to the camera mount, lens mount, or body cap. To
protect the camera when no lens is in place, be sure to replace the supplied body cap. Should you
encounter foreign matter that cannot be removed using the image sensor cleaning option (
0 895),
clean the image sensor as described in “Manual Cleaning” (0 897), or have the sensor cleaned by
Nik
on-authorized service personnel. Photographs affected by the presence of foreign matter on the
sensor can be retouched using the clean image options available in some imaging applications.
D Servicing the Camera and Accessories
The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing; Nikon recommends that the camera be
inspected once every one to two years, and that it be serviced once every three to five years (note that
fees apply to these services).
Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly recommended if the camera is used
professionally.
Any accessories regularly used with the camera, such as lenses or optional flash units, should be
included when the camera is inspected or serviced.
