Checking and Cleaning the Imager
The imager is the camera component that records light when you capture an image. If it
gets dirty, the quality of your images can be affected. Even though it is located inside the
camera, it is still possible for the imager to become dirty.
To determine whether the imager needs cleaning:
✔ Capture a test image of a flat uniform scene, and examine it for imperfections that
indicate dirt on the imager.
✔ Access the imager and visually inspect it for dirt.
Capturing and Examining an Image
1
Connect the camera to your
computer. Refer to “To Connect
Your Camera to a Computer” on
page 10-2.
2
Capture an image of a plain
white object, such as a clean
white wall.
3
Examine the image on the
computer monitor.
Imperfections in the image, such
as dark clusters or streaks, may
indicate a dirty imager.
