To remove the lens
Press the lens release button all the way in and turn the lens counterclockwise until it stops.
• Replace the cap on the lens and attach the body cap (or another lens) to the camera after removing the lens.
Keep dust from getting inside the camera when changing lenses!
If dust or debris gets inside the camera and lands on the surface of the CCD (the part that
acts as the film), it may appear on the image, depending on the shooting environment.
The camera is equipped with an anti-dust function to prevent dust from landing on the
CCD. However, take note of the following reminders when attaching/removing a lens.
• Avoid changing lenses in a dusty location.
• When storing the camera, always attach a lens or the body cap.
• When attaching the body cap, remove all the dust from the cap before placing it on the camera.
If dust or debris gets inside the camera, select [Clean CCD] in the Setup menu, and use
a commercially available blower brush to clean the CCD. t “User’s Guide/
