Caring for the Camera
Image Sensor Cleaning
Dirt or dust entering the camera when lenses are exchanged or the
body cap is removed may adhere to the surface of the image sensor and
affect your photographs. The “clean image sensor” option vibrates the
sensor to remove dust.
The image sensor can be cleaned at any time from the menus, or
cleaning can be performed automatically when the camera is turned off.
If image sensor cleaning fails to resolve the problem, contact a Nikon-
authorized service representative.
