Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit attached 
to the image sensor’s front  layer (low-pass filter) to 
shake off dust automatically.
The Dust Delete Data can  also be appended to the 
image so that the dust spot s remaining can be erased 
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (provided 
software, p.410).
About smudges adhering to the front of the sensorBesides dust entering the camera  from outside, in rare cases 
lubricant from the  camera’s internal parts ma y adhere to the front of 
the sensor. If visible spots still re main after the automatic sensor 
cleaning, having the  sensor cleaned by a Ca non Service Center is 
recommended.
Even while the Self Cleaning Sens or Unit is operating, you can 
press the shutter button  halfway to interrupt the cleaning and start 
shooting immediately.

Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust 
that may be visible on captured images . However, in case visible dust 
still remains, you can append the Du st Delete Data to the image for 
erasing the dust spots later. The Dust  Delete Data is used by Digital 
Photo Professional (provided softwa re, p.410) to erase the dust spots 
automatically.
 Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
  Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
  Set the lens focus mode switch to < MF> and set the focus to infinity 
( ∞ ). If the lens has no distance scale,  look at the front of the lens and 
turn the focusing ring clockwise all the way.
1Select [Dust Delete Data].
  Under the [ z3] tab, select [Dust 
Delete Data ], then press < 0>.
2Select [OK].
  Select [OK ] and press < 0>. After

3 Appending Dust Delete Data
3Photograph a solid-white object.
 At a distance of 20 cm - 30 cm (0.7 ft. 
- 1.0 ft.), fill the viewfinder with a 
patternless, solid-white object and 
take a picture.
X
The picture will be taken in aperture-
priority AE mode at an aperture of  f/22.
  Since the image will  not be saved, the 
data can be obtained even if there is 
no card in the camera.
X
When the picture is taken, the camera 
will start collecting the Dust Delete 
Data. When the Dust Delete Data is 
obtained, a message will appear. Select 
[
OK], and the menu  will reappear.
 If the data was not obtained 
successfully, a message to that effect 
will appear. Follow the “Preparation” 
procedure on the preceding page, then 
select [
OK]. Take the picture again.
After the Dust Delete Data is obt ained, it is appended to all the JPEG 
and RAW images captured thereafter.  Before an important shoot, you 
should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
For details about using Digital Phot o Professional (provided software, 
p.410) to erase dust spots, refer  to the Software Instruction Manual 
(p.412) on the Software In struction Manual CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly 
affects the image file size.
About the Dust Delete Data
Be sure to use a solid-white object such  as a new sheet of white paper. If the 
paper has any pattern or design, it ma y be recognized as dust data and 
affect the accuracy of the du st deletion with the software.

Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can 
be removed manually with a blower,  etc. Before cleaning the sensor, 
detach the lens from the camera.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the 
sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon 
Service Center is recommended.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning
 While cleaning the sensor, never do  any of the following. Doing any 
of the following will  cut off the power and close the shutter. The 
shutter curtains and image se nsor may then get damaged.
•  Setting the power switch to < 2>.
•  Removing or inserting the battery.
  The surface of the image  sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor 
with care.
  Use a plain blower without any brus h attached. A brush can scratch the 
sensor.
  Do not insert the blower tip inside th e camera beyond the lens mount. If 
the power is cut off, the shutter will  close and the shutter curtains or 
reflex mirror may get damaged.
  Never use canned air or gas to clea n the sensor. The blowing force can 
damage the sensor or the spray  gas can freeze on the sensor.
  If the battery level becomes low whil e you clean the sensor, the beeper 
will sound as a warning.  Stop cleaning the sensor.
  If a smudge that cannot be removed  with a blower remains, having the 
sensor cleaned by a Canon Se rvice Center is recommended.
