6 Turn the camera off. The mirror will return to the down position and the
shutter curtain will close. Replace the lens or body cap and disconnect the
AC adapter.
Cleaning the Low-Pass Filter
The low-pass filter is extremely delicate and easily damaged. We recommend
that the filter only be cleaned by Nikon-authorized service personnel. Should
you choose to clean the filter yourself, follow the steps below.
1 Raise the mirror as described in steps 1–4 on the preceding page.
2 Remove dust and lint from the filter with a
blower. Do not use a blower-brush, as the
bristles could damage the filter. If using an aero-
sol blower, hold the can upright to prevent liq-
uid from falling on the filter. Dirt that can not
be removed with a blower can only be removed
by Nikon-authorized service personnel. Under
no circumstances should you touch or wipe the
filter.
3 Turn the camera off. The mirror will return to the down position and the
shutter curtain will close. Replace the lens or body cap and disconnect the
AC adapter.
