using the Clean image sensor option in the setup menu
(

below. Note, however, that the sensor is extremely delicate and
easily damaged. Nikon recommends that the sensor be cleaned
only by Nikon-authorized service personnel.

A reliable power source is required when inspecting or
cleaning the image sensor. Be sure the battery is fully
charged before proceeding.

Turn the camera off and remove the lens.

The message shown at right will be
