The Imager
The imager records light when you capture an image. If it should get dirty, 
the quality of your images can be affected.
Determining if the Imager 
is Dirty
Even though the imager is located inside the camera, it can get dirty. There 
are two ways to determine whether it needs cleaning:
• Examine a test image and look for imperfections that indicate dirt on the 
imager.
• Visually inspect the imager for dirt.
Examining a Test Image
1. Capture an image of a plain white object, such as a clean, white wall.
2. Examine the image on the computer using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL 
DCS Photo Desk software. Imperfections in the image, such as dark 
clusters or streaks, may indicate a dirty imager.
