Notes
• After the cleaning is finished, confirm that the mirror is locked down firmly when 
you attach the lens. Otherwise, the lens may be scratched or this may be the cause of 
additional trouble. Also, if the mirror is not locked down firmly, the autofocus does 
not work during shooting.
• You cannot shoot while the mirror is lifted up.

Use the blower to clean the image 
sensor surface and the 
surrounding area.

tip of the blower and do not put the tip 
of a blower into the cavity beyond the 
mount.
• Hold the camera’s face downward to 
prevent the dust from resettling in the 
camera. Complete the cleaning quickly.
• Also clean the back of the mirror using 
a blower.

After the cleaning is finished,
