Camera maintenance

Getting to know your camera better

Cleaning mode k Removing dust

If dust or dirt gets on the image pickup device, black dots may appear in the

picture. If this happens, contact your Olympus Authorized Service Center to

have the image pickup device physically cleaned. The image pickup device is

a precision device and is easily damaged. When cleaning the image pickup

device yourself, be sure to follow the instructions below.

If a battery is used and power runs out during cleaning, the shutter will close,

which may cause the shutter curtain and mirror to break.

1 Remove the lens from the camera.

2 Set the power switch to ON.

3 MENU[Z][CLEANING MODE]

4 Press d, then press the i button.

• The camera enters the cleaning mode.

5 Press the shutter button all the way.

• The mirror goes up and the shutter curtain

opens.

6 Clean the image pickup device.

• Carefully blow off any dust on the surface of

the image pickup device by using a

mechanical blower (commercially available).

7 Be careful not to catch the mechanical

blower in the shutter curtain when

turning the power off to finish cleaning.

• If the camera turns off, the shutter curtain closes, causing the mirror to fall.

x Notes

• Be careful to not let the mechanical blower (commercially available) touch the

image pickup device. If the blower touches the image pickup device, the

image pickup device will be damaged.

• Never put the mechanical blower behind the lens mount. If the power turns off,

the shutter closes, breaking the shutter curtain.

• Do not use anything other than the mechanical blower. If high-pressure gas is

sprayed onto the image pickup device, it will freeze on the image pickup

device's surface, damaging the image pickup device.
