❚❚“Manual Cleaning”

If foreign matter can not be removed from the low-pass filter using the Clean image
sensor
option in the setup menu (

0 284), the filter can be cleaned manually 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.

1

Charge the battery or connect an AC adapter.

A reliable power source is required when inspecting or cleaning the low-pass
filter. Turn the camera off and insert a fully-charged EN-EL15 battery or connect
an optional EP-5B power connector and EH-5a AC adapter.

2

Remove the lens.

Turn the camera off and remove the lens.

3

Select Lock mirror up for cleaning.

Turn the camera on and press the

G

button to display the menus. Highlight Lock
mirror up for cleaning
in the setup menu
and press

2 (note that this option is not

available at battery levels of

J or below).

4

Press

J.

The message shown at right will be
displayed in the monitor and a row of dashes
will appear in the control panel and
viewfinder. To restore normal operation
without inspecting the low-pass filter, turn
the camera off.
