Clean the sensor.
Remove any dust and lint from the 
sensor with a blower. Do not use a 
blower-brush, as the bristles could 
damage the sensor. Dirt that can not 
be removed with a blower can only be 
removed by Nikon-authorized service 
personnel. Under no circumstances should you touch or 
wipe the sensor.

Turn the camera off.
The mirror will return to the down position and the shutter 
curtain will close. Replace the lens or body cap.

Use a Reliable Power Source
The shutter curtain is delicate and easily damaged. If the camera 
powers off while the mirror is raised, the curtain will close 
automatically. To prevent damage to the curtain, observe the 
following precautions:
• Do not turn the camera off or remove or disconnect the power source 
while the mirror is raised.
• If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep will sound 
and the self-timer lamp will flash to warn that the shutter curtain will 
close and the mirror will be lowered after about two minutes. End 
cleaning or inspection immediately.
