Note
• This section only applies to cameras where removing the lens exposes the infrared detector.

be cleaned mechanically. This mechanical cleaning must be carried out by an authorized service
partner.
CAUTION
In Step 2 below, do not use pressurized air from pneumatic air circuits in a workshop, etc., as this air
usually contains oil mist to lubricate pneumatic tools.

2. Use pressurized air from a compressed air canister to blow off the dust.
