5.3. Cleaning the Filter
To prevent the buildup of heat, the system circulates air into the camera body with a fan. In order
to lower the risk that dirt and dust in the air will enter the camera, the air vent and exhaust vent
are fitted with filters.Clean the filters and the area around the filters regularly in order to keep the
system in top condition.
Do not remove any of the screws on the camera body except for the screws in the locations
shown in the diagram above.
The risk of problems can be lowered by cleaning the filters. However, problems caused by the
effects of heat from not cleaning the filters are exempted from warranty service, even if they
occur during the system’s warranty period.
The filters reduce the risk that dirt and dust will enter the camera body, but there is no guarantee
that it will eliminate problems caused by dirt and dust.
