Sensor Shield Behavior at Power Off G button U B setup menu If [Sensor shield closes] is selected, the shield in front of the image sensor will close when the camera is turned off. This prevents dust or other foreign matter collecting on the image sensor when lenses are exchanged. It may also, however, increase camera startup times. D Cautions: The Sensor Shield • The shield can be damaged by touching it when it is closed. • When exchanging lenses with the shield closed, be sure to insert the lens perpendicular to the mount. If inserted at an angle, lenses could contact the sensor shield and damage the shield or the image sensor. Clean Image Sensor G button U B setup menu Dirt or dust entering the camera when lenses are exchanged or the body cap is removed may adhere to the image sensor and affect your photographs. The "clean image sensor" option vibrates the sensor to remove dust. Option [Start] [Automatic cleaning] Description Perform image sensor cleaning immediately. • [Clean at shutdown]: The image sensor is automatically cleaned during shutdown each time the camera is turned off. • [Cleaning off]: Automatic image sensor cleaning off.
