Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust 
that might be visible on captured im ages. 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 software) to erase the dust spots 
automatically.
  Get a solid-white object (paper, etc.).
  Set the lens focal length to 50mm 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 [ y] tab, select [Dust 
Delete Data ], then press < 0>.
2Select [OK].
  Select [OK ] and press < 0>. After 
the automatic self-cleaning of the 
sensor is performed, a message will 
appear. Although there will be a 
shutter sound, a picture is not taken.

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 the 
aperture-priority AE mode with an 
aperture of f/22.
  Since the image will  not be saved, the 
data can still be obta ined even if there 
is no card in the camera.
X
When the picture is taken, the camera 
will start obtaining 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.
To erase dust spots automatically with the provided software, see the 
Software Instruction Manual in the 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 which could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can 
be removed manually with a blower, etc.
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.
Before cleaning the sensor, det ach the lens from the camera.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning N
 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  sensor might get damaged.
• Setting the power switch to < 2>.
• Opening the battery compartment cover.
• Opening the card slot cover.
  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 might 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 a smudge that cannot be removed  with a blower remains, having the 
sensor cleaned by a Canon Se rvice Center is recommended.
