If you use the Dust Alert function to detect dust on the sensor
within 30 minutes before the sensor cleaning, the Dust Alert
image appears on the monitor to enable you to check the

that you contact PENTAX Service Center for professional
cleaning. Cleaning services involve a fee.

• Do not put the tip of the blower inside the lens mount area. If the
power is turned off, this could damage the shutter, CCD sensor or
the mirror.
