Before Use

Start cleaning.

● Press the [ ][ ] buttons or turn the [ ]

dial to choose [OK], and then press the

[ ] button.

● A message is displayed indicating that

cleaning is in progress. Although there

will be a shutter sound, a picture is not

taken.

● The sensor cleaning also works while no lens is attached. If no

lens is attached, do not insert your nger or a blower tip past the

lens mount, which may damage the shutter curtains.

● For best results, clean with the camera placed upright on a desk

or other surface.

● Repeated cleaning will not produce notably better results. Note

that [Clean now

] may not be available immediately after

cleaning.

● Contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk regarding dust or

other material that cannot be removed by sensor cleaning.

Cleaning the Sensor Manually

Any dust that remains after automatic cleaning can also be removed by

using an optional blower or other specialized tool.

The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor must

be cleaned manually, we recommend requesting service from a Canon

Customer Support Help Desk.

Make sure the camera is off.

Detach the lens.

Clean the sensor.

Cleaning the Image Sensor

The image sensor is automatically cleaned to remove dust whenever you

turn the camera on or off, or when the camera shuts off in Power Saving

mode. You can disable automatic cleaning or activate cleaning as needed.

Disabling Auto Cleaning

Access the setting screen.

● Turn the camera on in Shooting mode,

choose [Sensor cleaning] on the [ 3] tab,

and press the [ ] button.

● Press the [

][ ] buttons or turn the [ ]

dial to choose [Auto cleaning ], and

then press the [ ] button.

Congure the setting.

● Press the [ ][ ] buttons or turn the [ ]

dial to choose [Disable], and then press

the [ ] button.
