The Low-Pass Filter
The image sensor that acts
as
the camera's picture element
is
fitted
with
a low-pass filter
to
prevent moire. Ifyou suspect that dirt or dust on the filter
is
appearing
in
photographs, you
can
clean
the
filter
as
described below. Note, however, that the filter
is
extremely delicate
and easily damaged. Nikon recommends that the filter be cleaned only by Nikon-authorized
service personnel.
To
preve~t
the camera from powering
off
while the mirror
is
raised,
use
a
full-charged battery or
an
optional EH-5AC adapter and
EP-5
AC
adapter connector
[1103).

Mirror

is
not

Press
the
shutter-release button
all
the way down. The mirror
will be raised and the shutter curtain will open, revealing the
low-pass filter.
SHolding
the
camera
so
that light falls on the low-pass filter,
examine
the
filter for dust or lint. If no foreign objects
are
present, proceed
to
Step
7.
6 Remove any dust and lint from the filter with a blower. Do
not
use
a blower-brush,
as
the bristles could damage the filter.
Dirt
that
can
not
be removed with a blower
can
only be
removed by Nikon-authorized service personnel. Under no
circumstances should you touch or wipe the filter.
7 Turn
the
camera off. The mirror will be lowered and

Use
a
Reliable
Power
Source
The shutter curtain
is
delicate and easily damaged. If the camera turns
off
with
the mirror raised, the
curtain will close automatically.
To
prevent damage
to
the curtain, observe the following precautions: II
• Do
not
turn
the
camera
off
until cleaning or inspection
is
complete. Do
not
remove or disconnect
the power source while the mirror
is
raised.
• If the battery runs
low
while the mirror
is
raised, a beep will sound and the AF-assist illuminator will
blink
to
warn that the shutter curtain will close and the mirror will be lowered after about
two
min-
utes.
End
cleaning or inspection immediately.
