The SX-56 camera should not require much maintenance, but it may be necessary to clean the chamber
window or shutter blind on occasion. Dust removal may often be performed by simply setting the shut-
ter to ‘Open’, by using the ‘Test’ facility in the SX Vision software. The window can then be blown
clean with an air cannon and the camera quickly returned to operation. In more difficult cases, you may
want to open the front panel and directly access the window and shutter. Both parts are readily accessi-
ble by removing the camera front plate, as follows:
1) Remove the 10 off M3 screws around the periphery of the front cover.
2) Carefully remove the cover and expose the shutter assembly.
