MENU Cleaning the CCD Sensor The CCD sensor corresponds to the film in a film-based camera. If any dust or other foreign matter adheres to the CCD sensor, it may show up as a dark speck in the pictures you take. To avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the CCD sensor. Note that the CCD sensor is a very delicate component. If possible, you should have it cleaned by a Canon Service Center. While you clean the CCD, the camera's power must remain on the whole time. To make sure the power will not turn off while you clean the CCD sensor, connect the camera to a power outlet with the DC Coupler Kit or use the battery pack that has enough power. You will also need a rubber blower, and the lens must be detached from the camera.
