Cleaning of the Image Sensor Surface.
■ ALWAYS take appropriate anti-static precautions when cleaning or working near the
Image sensor.
■ DO NOT use any form of cleaning equipment using electrostatic or ‘charged fiber’ technology.
■ Please discharge any electrostatic build up in your body by touching a grounded metallic
Surface before working near the camera sensor.
■ Very gently, use only clean and dry air to remove dust from surface of the image sensor.
■ To remove stubborn contamination use the highest grade (e.g. VLSI grade) pure
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) with optical wipes of ‘clean room’ grade.
■ Extreme care must be taken! Gently wipe across the sensor in a single action.
(DO NOT rub to avoid abrasive damage to delicate optical coatings on the glass surface.)
Cleaning of the Camera Body.
■ Use dry or wet cloth to remove dirt from surface of the Body.
■ To remove stubborn contamination, use detergent.
