❚❚ “Manual Cleaning”
If foreign matter can not be removed from the low-pass filter using the Clean image
sensor option in the setup menu (0 284), the filter can be cleaned manually as
described below.
Note, however, that the filter is extremely delicate and easily
damaged.
Nikon recommends that the filter be cleaned only by Nikon-authorized
service personnel.
1 Charge the battery or connect an AC adapter.
A reliable power source is required when inspecting or cleaning the low-pass
filter.
Turn the camera off and insert a fully-charged EN-EL15 battery or connect
an optional EP-5B power connector and EH-5a AC adapter.
2 Remove the lens.
Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
3 Select Lock mirror up for cleaning.
Turn the camera on and press the G
button to display the menus.
Highlight Lock
mirror up for cleaning in the setup menu

available at battery levels of J or below).
4 Press J.
The message shown at right will be
displayed in the monitor and a row of dashes
