Technical Notes-Caring for Your Camera Storage and Maintenance 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 aerosol blower, hold the can upright to prevent liquid 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.
