❚❚“Manual Cleaning”
If foreign matter can not be removed from the low-pass filter using the Clean image
sensor option in the setup menu (
0 284), the filter can be cleaned manually as
described below. Note, however, that the filter is extremely delicate and easily
damaged. Nikon recommends that the filter be cleaned only by Nikon-authorized
service personnel.
1
Charge the battery or connect an AC adapter.
A reliable power source is required when inspecting or cleaning the low-pass
filter. Turn the camera off and insert a fully-charged EN-EL15 battery or connect
an optional EP-5B power connector and EH-5a AC adapter.
2
Remove the lens.
Turn the camera off and remove the lens.
3
Select Lock mirror up for cleaning.
Turn the camera on and press the
G
button to display the menus. Highlight Lock
mirror up for cleaning in the setup menu
and press
2 (note that this option is not
available at battery levels of
J or below).
4
Press
J.
The message shown at right will be
displayed in the monitor and a row of dashes
will appear in the control panel and
viewfinder. To restore normal operation
without inspecting the low-pass filter, turn
the camera off.
