Raise the mirror.

The mirror will be raised and

revealing the low-pass filter. The display in the viewfinder will
turn off and the row of dashes in the control panel will blink.

Examine the low-pass filter.
Holding 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.

Clean the filter.
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.

Turn the camera off.
The mirror will return to the down position and the shutter
curtain will close. Replace the lens or body cap.
