use to lift the mirror and open the
sensor. POWER USER TIP: ONLY
USE THIS MODE IF YOU
REALLY KNOW HOW TO CLEAN
A SENSOR! , No, really, no jokes.
If you do not know how to do this,
or you do not have the custom
equipment needed for the task,
rather take the camera to a
professional service location and
get the job done properly. In any
event do not use aerosol type
compressed air cannisters – the
escaping gas under pressure causes
a temperature drop that could
“freeze” the sensor and cause
damage.

EXT WB DETECT OFF / ON*
In some locations, a strong light of
a different colour temperature to
the subject seen through the lens
might be shining close to the
external WB sensor on the front of
the camera. This could adversely
influence WB readings. In such
cases de-activate the sensor here
and let the E-3 use only the internal
WB sensor.
