Remove dust and lint with a blower

the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this could result in
damage or malfunction.
Image Sensor Cleaning
Dirt or dust entering the camera when lenses are ex
changed 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.
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.
