The Imager
Light from the scene you are photographing strikes the imager when the
camera’s shutter is open. The imager converts this light into a digital image.
If the imager’s cover glass gets dirty, the quality of your images will be
affected.
Determining if the Imager
is Dirty
Even though the imager is located inside the camera, it can get dirty. There
are two ways to determine whether it needs cleaning:
• Examine a test image and look for imperfections that indicate dirt on the
imager.
• Visually inspect the imager for dirt.
Examining a Test Image
1. Capture an image of a plain white object, such as a clean, white wall.
2. Examine the image on the computer using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL
DCS Photo Desk software. Imperfections in the image, such as dark
clusters or streaks, may indicate a dirty imager.
