The image sensor is like the film in a film camera. If any dust adheres
on the image sensor, it may show up as a dark speck on the images. To
avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the image sensor.
Using the AC Adapter Kit ACK-E2 (optional, see page 166) is
recommended. If you use a battery, make sure the battery level is
sufficient.
