Dirt or dust entering the camera when lenses are exchanged or 
the body cap is removed may adhere to the image sensor and 
affect your photographs. The Clean image sensor option 
vibrates the sensor to remove dust.
Use this option to lock the mirror up so that dust that can not be 
removed using Clean image sensor can be removed manually 
as described in the section on manual cleaning in the User’s 
Manual
. Note, however, that because the image sensor is easily 
damaged, we recommend that manual cleaning be performed 
only by a Nikon-authorized service representative.
