Cleaning the CMOS Imaging Element

The imaging element corresponds to the film in a film camera. If dirt or foreign matter gets on this imaging element, black spots may be recorded on the corresponding part of the image. If this happens, use the procedure below to clean the imaging element.

Because the imaging element is very sensitive, we strongly recommend that you have the cleaning done by Canon service representatives.

When cleaning the imaging element, always connect the EOS D30 camera to a household power outlet using the DC coupler. If you try to clean the imaging element while the battery pack is installed in the camera, the cleaning warning message “ ” will blink on the LCD panel and you will not be able to clean the imaging element.

Before you start cleaning, remove the lens ( → 30), attach the DC coupler ( → 29), and set the

● Never disconnect the camera power during cleaning. If the power is cut off, the shutter will close and possibly damage the shutter curtain.

● Use a blower without a brush attached. Using a brush to remove dust from the image element can damage the element.

● Do not insert a dust blower into the camera beyond the lens mount. If the power shuts off and the shutter closes, this may damage the shutter curtains.

● Never use cleaning sprays or blower sprays. The pressure and freezing action of the spray gas may damage the surface of the imaging element.
