❚❚ Manual Cleaning
If foreign matter cannot be removed from the image sensor
using the Clean image sensor (0 312) option in the setup
menu, the sensor can be cleaned manually as described below.
Note, however, that the sensor is extremely delicate and easily
damaged; we recommend that manual cleaning be performed
only by a Nikon-authorized service representative.
1 Charge the battery or connect an AC adapter.
A reliable power source is required when inspecting or
cleaning the image sensor. Turn the camera off and insert a
fully-charged battery or connect an optional AC adapter and
power connector. The Lock mirror up for cleaning option is
only available in the setup menu if the battery level is over
J and the camera is not connected to a smart device via
Bluetooth or other devices via USB.
2 Remove the lens.
Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
3 Select Lock mirror up for cleaning.
Turn the camera on and highlight
Lock mirror up for cleaning in the
setup menu and press 2.
