Cleaning and Checking the Image Sensor
In addition to a design that prevents dust accumulating on the image sensor, the
camera is equipped with a dust-reduction feature that vibrates the sensor at high
frequencies to remove dust from its front surface. Dust reduction is performed
automatically when the camera is turned on.
Dust reduction is also performed during pixel mapping, which is used to check the
image sensor and image processing circuits. Note that because dust reduction is
performed during camera startup, you should do what you can to keep the camera
upright as you turn it on.
Image Processing Check (Pixel Mapping)
Perform a simultaneous check of both the image sensor and image processing
functions. For best results, perform pixel mapping no sooner than one minute after
taking or viewing pictures.
1 Press the MENU button to display the menus.
2 Highlight [Pixel Mapping] in G Custom Menu b
(K Utility) and press I on the arrow pad.
3 Press the OK button.
• A progress bar ([Busy]) will be displayed while pixel
mapping is in progress. The menus will be displayed
when the process is complete.
• Should you inadvertently turn the camera off while pixel mapping is in progress, be sure to
perform pixel mapping again after turning the camera on.
