Note on changing the lens
When changing the lens, if dust or debris gets inside the camera and lands 
on the surface of the image sensor (the part that acts as the film), it may 
appear on the image, depending on the shooting environment.
The camera is equipped with an anti-dust function to prevent dust from 
landing on the image sensor. However, quickly change the lens away from 
dusty locations when attaching/removing a lens.
If dust or debris lands on the image sensor
Clean the image sensor using [Cleaning mode] in the
